I saw a video of a father suffering from cancer, he is buying a cow and sending it to his daughter's father-in-law's house for one lakh seventy five thousand rupees on Eid-ul-Adha.
This is the tradition there, for the first time after marriage, cows have to be bought and sent from the daughter's father's house to the father-in-law's house, whether the daughter's father can afford it or not. Even if he borrows money, he has to send cows and goats to his daughter-in-law's house. This is the unwritten rule, it has been going on like this for ages.
The cancer patient was asked by the elderly father, what will happen if not sent?
The old father cried and said, "If you don't send me, you will listen to my daughter." No one will be able to listen to my daughter as long as I live. So I have come for the happiness of my daughter even though she is suffering.
Alas happiness, alas tradition..!
