  ...and according to coinmill.com, 1 crore Indian rupees is roughly US$220K, or €175K, or £150K. I never realized that my in-laws were so cheap. :-)

    I don't quite understand. Is the guy saying that if he gets his stamp, then he can marry this particular woman whose parents will pay them a 1 crore dowry, but otherwise he can't marry her? or is he saying that if he gets the stamp they can get the 1 crore dowry, but otherwise, he will still marry the same woman, but her parents will gift them less than a 1 crore dowry? or is he talking in the generic sense that if he has the stamp, then he would be elgible to marry an arbitrary, non-specified woman whose parents would pay a 1 crore dowry?

      He is talking in the generic sense. A person who wants to get 'paid' would marry any gal whose family can cough up that much money.
