What about a first-time dowry scheme?

You make it even better by offering a 10 per cent tax write-off scheme for first-time home-buyers.

You have made the lives of young people a lot easier and I'm sure they'll appreciate that. Now they have a car and a house, but no soul mate.

What about those poor, single young people who can't afford to get married? I was one of those and I suffered great pain and anxiety. I hope you would consider no-dowry-for-first-wife scheme, or one in which the government at least matches the amount of dowry a poor guy can scrape up.

This is sure to curb eloping, and at the same time minimise the number of children being born out of wedlock.
