A middle-class family in Patna. The eldest daughter is getting married. Traditionally, the groom’s family might ask for a car or gold. The father, a school principal, announces at the roka (engagement ceremony): “We will give no dowry. Instead, we will pay for the girl’s higher education after marriage.” There is awkward silence. Then the groom’s mother stands up and claps. This story is slowly becoming more common, signaling a shift from transactional to educational empowerment.
