For many families the birth of a daughter still brings worry about dowry and wedding expenses. Loans taken for one wedding can burden a family for years.

The Ramaini marriage removes that burden completely. The couple is married through the recitation of the Asur Nikandan Ramaini in about 17 minutes. No dowry, no procession and no feast are involved.

When the whole community stops giving and taking dowry, the pressure on every family disappears — and daughters are welcomed as they should be.
