    In my opinion, All they(Saudi Women) need is only one thing..

    A freedom to express their woes.

    it would be good if there is appreciation.. If they are trying to improve then they should be appreciated rather than looked down upon.

    That's a very good news. Hopefully other muslim countries will follow suit. The world will become a better place if women are treated like human beings, not just for reproductive purposes. The better they are treated the greater the chances they'll raise better children. Most women will become mothers one day or are mothers already. And mothers have really important role in the society.

    Yet Hindus don't hesitate to murder their daughters, burn their daughters-in-law.. Ah the irony.

    Why you always target entire religion directly ?
    Just tell Indians don't hesitate to murder their daughters, burn their daughters-in-law.. Ah the irony.
    Because it happens in all religions.Of course they are pathetic whose brains are malfunctioned too.Because they couldn't interpret the society well.Lack of their vision, I believe.

    How many other religions that claim that 'Women must be worshiped' kill their daughters even before they are born?
    How many other religions that claim that 'Women must be worshiped' treat their girl child as 2nd grade human?
    How many other religions that claim that 'Women must be worshiped' burn their daughters-in-law just because she couldn't bring enough dowry or couldn't give them a boy child?
    How many other religion that claim that 'Women must be worshiped' Murder their daughters brutally, just because she fell in love with a guy who belonged to some other caste?

    Don't come up with Islam, they don't say that 'Women must be worshiped'...

    Yes, not all Hindus do that, but yet the vast majority of Hindus hypocritically abuse their females.

    You worship God, not a human being. Women just need to get the respect they are supposed to have.

    I am afraid worship doesn't necessarily mean its related to God in every sense.

    Hinduism doesn't say that..
    But Hinduism place a biased importance on Sons..

    ~ When you die, only your son can perform your last ritual.. Daughter can not do that.
    ~ You can only attend Moksha by hands of your son, If you don't have a son to do the 'pind-daan' your soul will never attend Moksha.
    ~ When a boy child is born in your family, the souls of you ancestors are given a higher place in heaven. - Vishnu Puran.

    Tell me Bharat, why India has the largest Hindu population is the world and largest abortion rate of girl child?
    Why still to this date, women are burnt in Hindu families for dowry?

    And don't give me they are not hindus shit.. Of course they are Hindus.. Rotten and corrupt Hindus.

    Hinduism was a good philosophy once, but as a religion it is rotten..

    It is not - "People are what religion makes them" its "Religion is what people make it"

    PS: anyway, it is not a thread about Hinduism.. So we should not hijack it.. If you want to discuss Hinduism, make on about it...

    Its about money..Dowry is actually helpful for setting up family or for a business for a newly married couple.Money some what helpful.In some countries Govt provide something to newly married couple ex..some European countries.But in India you know...I think I don't have to tell anything about Govt.Its just not possible.So They adopted such a system thinking that that might be helpful for newly married couple.But some people taking advantages of it.Actually they WEIGH dowry on some ridicules things..Like is he NRI,Software Engineer...bla bla.bla.So some people
    Just go to America to be WEIGHED higher.so its not the Hindu custom..Its all about money.

    May be you are wrong..or its just side effects of Dowry.

    Its not happening now.Generally majority of the marriages are arranged in India.Many believe in their own community only like racists...again some pathetic people.

    It is about the money, but it is not unrelated to Hindu custom.. Dowry is forced on bride's side.. Because in Hinduism, male are given much importance. It's not a custom started in recent years.. Dowry dates way back..


    I'm not wrong, and it is not a side effect of dowry.. Dowry is the side effect of it.. Refer to Vishnu-Puran to know more about it.


    As I said, religion is what people make it.

    Because they are so emotional to do such things..Just to keep them away, I guess.

    For real,,no one is thinking about Moksha and all other things.

    Again Money Webby.

    You know I always agree to that.
