Streedhan is gifts given *to me* by my family at my wedding, like the four gold bangles Amma saved for—it stays mine by law, for my security. Dowry is what they demand *from* my family for the groom’s side, which is illegal and just trouble. But honestly, in our colony, people whisper ‘streedhan’ but still count every gram like a price tag, so the difference feels thin sometimes. My own yellow Hampi fund matters more to me right now than those bangles in the locker.
