永恆的妝奩

數月前參加親戚的婚宴,新娘子是印度族裔,親友都為新郎獲得太太帶來的豐厚妝奩而高興。新娘的一位好友在席上解釋,印度國民保守,男權高漲,女性地位低微,父母為了保障女兒出嫁後的生活,都給予她們豐厚的妝奩,以備不時之需。可是,很多無良丈夫強佔妝奩,並欺負她們,以致近年來不少有學識的印裔女子,寧願離鄉別井作過埠新娘。

最近在網上看到一則啓事,一位女士自稱貌美且有型有格,配與年入五十萬美元或以上的男士先友後婚。美國某大銀行的一位行政總裁用投資的概念覆函該女士,表示自己年薪過五十萬,願意與她做朋友,從她的美貌與型格獲取高回報,但不會與她結婚,因為若干年後他可獲得的回報肯定會暴跌。最後他向她忠告,若果她現時能盡量充實自己,他日可換來的利益何止這數目。

我還記得以前一位女同事,因身材短小而被人看低,甚至被人捉弄,但她並不氣餒,決心利用工餘時間不斷進修,以期運用自己的才學來提升個人形象。經過數年的積極奮鬥,終考獲博士學位,轉到某大學任教,甚得學生愛戴,並覓得如意郎君共諧連理。婚後繼續作育英材,同時相夫教子,能幹非常。

女子攜同妝奩出嫁似乎是普世的現象,然而在不同時空卻有不同的意義。無論如何,我深信身為父母者,無不希望每一個女兒都能擁有屬於她自己、實用又永不「貶值」,甚至可以傳給下一代的妝奩。
