Woman Gets Rs 41 Lakh From Parents For 'Big' Wedding, She Elopes & Buys New Home Instead

Sadly, time hasn't moved forward much for women across the world. There are still some battles they fight at home, dealing with small minds while dodging power games. A woman recently took to Reddit to explain how her parents paid her brothers $50,000 after they graduated. She didn't get the same amount after graduating. She got it when her wedding date was set. The parents' goal? To have a lavish wedding for friends and family. Not seeing the logic in this, the woman in question made a decision that worked out perfectly for her but left her family fuming. Here's what went on.

Why did the woman skip a 'big' wedding and buy a home instead?

The Redditor's post explains: "My parents gave each of my brothers $50,000 when they graduated from university as a downpayment on their home. When I graduated they did not do the same for me. I asked about it and they said my husband should provide. I wasn't married. I still lived at home."

"Three years later I met my husband. We dated for a year and then we got engaged. My parents were overjoyed. When we set a date they gave me a check for $50,000 to pay for the wedding. WTF?"

What happened next?

The post further explains: "I took the check and we eloped. We then used the check for a downpayment on a house. My husband had a similar amount saved up so we are in a good spot with equity."

Her parents were left fuming that she didn't spend the money on a big wedding like the ones her parents had hoped for, wanting to entertain friends and family.?"My parents bare [sic] furious that they didn't get a big wedding for all their friends and family to attend.They said that they gave me the money for a wedding."

"My argument is that I got married and had leftover money. Accurate in my books.My brothers are on their side so I am here to ask if I'm in the wrong.AITA?" asked OP.

The comments further reveal that she did in fact have a wedding and it was attended by her parents. But because it wasn't "big" enough, it was plenty of reason for her parents to be angry with her.
