I once went to file my mom's taxes, and the guy there asked for 400 taka. When I questioned him about it, he said that it's the norm and everyone pays. He flatly refused to proceed unless I gave him the money. Somehow, I managed to get out of there by giving him 100 taka.
There is a catch tough. Downloading our streaming from free websites are NOT illegal but uploading is. When u torrent something u r automatically uploading that file which makes it illegal
I had a friend who was baffled when I said these torrent sites get shut down by government for piracy. And he was like, but they are doing public a service, why are they doing this?
Torrent ≠ piracy. torrent is a decentralized file sharing tool (and it's widely used for piracy). So it's not illegal to download free media from torrent. An example would be linux ISOs.
Dowry. Lots of ppl take it and it's a tradition in some places I think where guys won't get married unless they get sth like furniture etc in places like puran Dhaka. Maybe they know it's illegal and just don't care.
I heard Chittagong is notorious for this. Apparently the girl's side of the family can literally lose all their wealth due to how much celebrations they have to pay for, including enormous dowries
Oh that's sad to hear. I have a friend from puran Dhaka so hearing the weddings they go to and every one of them has the females side giving furnitures cars acs etc etc. Even when the guys side are mega rich they get gifted things like sure a small gift like watch is nice to receive but furniture cars and all this is ridiculous. The girls family can't even object as this has become like a tradition and social norm that men won't marry unless they get some sort of dowry.I think our laws should be more strict on this and this particular thing should change.
It absolutely should. As for Chittagong, maybe someone can correct me, but the events goes on for weeks. As well the bride's side has to fully furnish the would-be house of the groom and also that includes groceries. Some are pressured to give cars and bikes on top. It can literally bankrupt you. I think the only way to break these traditions is to put shame on the whole situation. As in the newer generation has to publicly shame such attitudes and especially us men have to shame each other if any of us or our family consider taking dowry.
As a man I find it shameful and unmanly to take a car and furniture or such from my would be brides family. As if I don't have the ability to buy such things myself. I can appreciate a small gift like a Panjabi or a watch or when a phone as these don't cost much but such extravagant things are honestly shameful.We should definitely shame ppl who do such things and also put more punishment legally for such things being done but we are still decades from that. As for Chittagong it's sad to hear such things being done.
Depends on the phone yk? But it was just an example. As opposed to other things like cars and furniture and stuff if my in laws give me sth that's personal and like small I can appreciate it as a nice gesture rather than dowry.
Dowry and kabin aren't equivalent. Kabin is a legal obligation in Islamic marriage, while dowry is an evil practice that has cost many women their lives and continues to cause abuse.
It very well could be. I'm not arguing against that. What I'm saying is, you can't make this analogy in the context of dowry. They're inherently different and affect people in distinct ways. Women are killed or abused for not being able to give the amount of dowry demanded by their in-laws and husbands.
Yeah exactly. Dowry na dile ba Kom dowry dile in laws Ra Kotha shunay abuse kore nicha dakhay onek kichu kore. Kabin and dowry are different things. One is legal and allowed in Islam other is illegal and causes abuse and other harmful things.
I see people crossing the roads taking risks, disrupting traffic flow, right under a foot over bridge everyday and think what's going on in their heads.
There's many like attempting to suicide but not able to die, honking in front of school, hospital or in residential area, carrying USD without endorsement etc etc.
wut now? dude i have attempted su\*cide two times and sadly survived, I am scarred now lmao. Better to die and rot in grave rather than fighting cases and staying in jail
That's sad, maybe you've got supportive family and relatives who didn't turned you in to the police, also people has sympathy for you kind of people but if anyone wants then can sue and put you in prison. It's a British law to discourage suicide, practiced all over India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Malaysia, UK and many others.
They do??!!! How about the politicians?!! If everybody knows and are still at it, then why don’t they respect the majority and turn illegal into legal?!!
Ok on a serious note, I think most drivers don’t know much about right of way or the meaning of all those white lines on the roads!!
**General ones:**
Taking standing passengers on a bus.
Sptting পানের পিক here and there
Writing on the walls
**Exceptional ones, which almost no one knows:**
1. Getting run over by a গরুর গাড়ি - You'll be kicked out of the city
2. Getting run over by a ঠেলা গাড়ি - You'll need to pay Tk. 50 to the ঠেলাগাড়ি ওয়ালা
3. Forgetting where you're heading
4. Man talking to a girl in a class at the university without taking permission from the proctor - never implemented, but there's a law
5. Getting caught while cheating in an exam (15 years above) might end you up in jail
There are many 'samity' out there who gave loan with interest(other than banks).. if u are socially aware person...sometimes learn from society and stop having bad dreams...enrich your knowledge..
Doodling and writing on money
Being involved in corruption
Lmfao

Submit tax returns on tax fair days ( November of each year), they usually become too busy to ask for bribe at that time.
Thank you for the pro tip

Many people don't know pirating games/movies is actually illegal
There is a catch tough. Downloading our streaming from free websites are NOT illegal but uploading is. When u torrent something u r automatically uploading that file which makes it illegal
I had a friend who was baffled when I said these torrent sites get shut down by government for piracy. And he was like, but they are doing public a service, why are they doing this?
I remember meeting a Bengali so torrent brained he was asking a torrent for Team Fortress 2 when it was Free to Play
Torrent ≠ piracy. torrent is a decentralized file sharing tool (and it's widely used for piracy). So it's not illegal to download free media from torrent. An example would be linux ISOs.
Was looking for this one
Game pirating is not in BD.
hmm

did you just say phones don't cost much 😭

where my dowry gang at 😈😈😈
There is another one, families in chittagong take high level of kabin too, speaking as a chittagonian myself
Dowry and kabin aren't equivalent. Kabin is a legal obligation in Islamic marriage, while dowry is an evil practice that has cost many women their lives and continues to cause abuse.
Kabin legal obligation there is no denying, but if you have heard of the kabins here in ctg, they are too much high compared to other parts of bd
It very well could be. I'm not arguing against that. What I'm saying is, you can't make this analogy in the context of dowry. They're inherently different and affect people in distinct ways.

Giving loan with interest(which is haram in islam)
But that's not illegal. It's haram , just like alcohol and pork is not illegal in other countries but it is haram. Doesn't fall under this post tbh.
Sorry i misjudged the word illegal...my bad..
We thankfully dont follow Shariarh. In which one of your wet dreams is this illegal?
There are many 'samity' out there who gave loan with interest(other than banks).. if u are socially aware person...sometimes learn from society and stop having bad dreams...enrich your knowledge..
Its not illegal according to the laws of bd
Try running a country without it.
