I personally feel in hinduism (oldest religion) some practices have lost its significance like Kanyadaan...it not only give the boys parent a false hope of security , it is the sole reason behind the pain at birth of girl child in India and one of the main reason of mamma's boys coz they are not adult enough to make a separate home but expects high standard of maturity from women. Do you feel like Sati, this should be stopped or we need some male leader for that

Kanyadaan should stop??
