Since when is a car towed for a simple flat tire ? <| sep |> My favorite show since I was in jr high . I watch a few episodes every night to fall asleep to , because it ' s comforting . No matter how many time I see the episodes , they always make me laugh . <| sep |> It is not like no one was ready to marry her . right , but my question was with so much social backlashprogress over dowry PLUS a scarcity of girls , how was it so difficult for her to ~~ not ~~# get a match that didn ' t ask for dowry ? so your theory that the girl ' s parents pay for upward social mobility makes sense . but isn ' t it also true that generally people marry within their own economicsocial group ? in which case , the scarcity of brides should depress dowry at least any groom asking for large dowry is rejected by girls in his economicsocial group and has to seek brides in a lower group which might carry costs to him in terms of decrease in social status , increased propensity of disputes etc . there seems to be a cognitive dissonance though if he can earn and provide good lifestyle , he doesn ' t need any dowry . # edit failed double negative
