While society is gradually moving away from the dowry system, with many recognising it as a burden on the bride's family, the practice still persists in several places. In many cases, families continue to face pressure to provide lavish gifts, often at great financial cost.
A video showing a boy proudly displaying items arranged for his sister's Tilak ceremony, from a bed to an air conditioner, has recently gone viral on social media.
The video, posted on the Instagram account @manusinghvlogs1999, highlights the extensive list of items intended for the ceremony. The video, originating from Bihar, shows the boy explaining that all these items are for his sister's Tilak.

In the video, the boy meticulously presents each item, starting with the air conditioner and fridge, all from reputable brands. The collection includes numerous essentials such as sofas, chairs and beds, with some items even unfamiliar to the boy. It is estimated that these items cost lakhs of rupees, clearly a significant burden on the girl's family.
The video has gone viral, amassing 2.3 million views and prompting a wave of reactions. Commenters expressed their disapproval, with remarks like 'In-laws are eternal beggars" and questioning if the marriage was into a beggar's home.
Another comment pointed out that items like toilet paper and Harpic were missing from the list.
