Your Honour
We have seen the tension writ on the faces of millions of parents who are struggling very hard to make both ends meet. They are bearing so much to earn their livelihoods. On the top of it they are all the time worried about their daughters and try to save them from the evil eyes of the rapists. They want to marry off their daughters soon but again they have to arrange for big fat marriages and dowry. Many laws are made to discourage dowry and lessen the expenditure on the marriages but are not implemented. The farmers are forced to sell their lands to arrange money and sometimes pledge them. When they fail to repay they end their lives. We all know the reality but nothing concrete is happening. Crores of rupees are spend on foreign tours but are we learning something from the West?
Your kind self being the highest authority we have huge expectations from you. Make the women of India happy by adopting stringent laws and also implementing them to end this social evil called dowry so that everyone is able to lead a dignified life.

Imagine a 4-star hotel (in a State Capital) is fully booked for 3 days for guests. But about 50% payment is made in cash. How? Check the Accounts book - you will found possibly 1 rooms was booked by Mr. ABC, 1 room by Mr. BCD, 1 room by Mr. CDE, ... and so on. Some has paid in cash, some through credit/debit cards (different Nos. ), Internet Banking (different Bank A/cs) etc.
Expenditure of Band party, fireworks etc. mostly IN CASH.
Catering expenditure - partly IN CASH
Expenditure on Gifts - Partly IN CASH
