She took this courageous step after her fiancé’s family started asking for dowry post engagement.
Her post reads, “To all those asking for the date of my wedding, the family that before the engagement had said that they only wanted me, post the engagement, they were demanding 50 sovereigns of gold and 5 lakh rupees.”
“As I am staunchly against dowry and because I believe that buying anything for a man and his family who are so unreliable is a loss, I don’t want to continue with the marriage.”
Soon her post went viral on social media and people started sending congratulatory messages and praising her for the decision.
On Sunday, Remya posted a thank you post. She wrote, “I juz wanted to let my circle know about cancellation of marriage, never expected this to break. Meanwhile, I would like to explain that the decision was my declaration. Never had an intention to hurt anyone specifically. Please don’t use my post for personalized humiliation, instead use it against our social norms. People are ignorant for their own convenience and profit. Thank you once again.”
You Go Girl!
