Before marriage, the husband's family should give the bride price to the woman's family (each family is different, some don't have to give it, but basically they all have to give it). The woman will prepare a dowry for her daughter according to the amount of bride price and her own economic conditions.
Everyone I know in Guang 'an is married. I heard that some people broke up because of the problem between the bride price that both men and women wanted and the bride price that they gave themselves. . . So you should pay more attention to this.
