First of all, it's a pity that I don't know why your boyfriend lied to you.
1, the bride price is definitely necessary. A few years ago, 1 10,000 yuan was almost the same, and now it is impossible to get without 20,000 yuan.
2, although the woman will use the bride price money to buy a dowry for her daughter, and then send it to the man's house to offset it, usually the woman will put money in. But at first it was a custom, and there was no so-called inferiority complex. The woman can't send her daughter naked, and people will laugh.
3, the woman's relatives are definitely going, and they must be respected after going. If the man is found to abuse the woman's guests, the woman can not marry.
