Expensive Gift From Inlaws
Dowry is considered a social menace because it is demanded by the husband and his family, explicitly or implied; other than that, I don’t see any reason why parents should be frowned upon for giving a farewell gift to their daughter out of their own freewill and happiness. I think its better if you adjust to the situation instead of forcing your wife to not use a gift given by her parents.
Thank you everyone who took time out to respond. You have all given me a lot to think about. Whereas accepting it wholeheartedly will take a lot of time, i will try my best to stay neutral for the time being.
