Dowry is a custom in traditional culture, which refers to the property, goods and money brought by the woman in marriage. In modern society, the existence of dowry mainly depends on regional, family background, cultural traditions and other factors. In some places and families, dowry is still regarded as an important etiquette and even a symbol of traditional customs. In other places and families, dowry is no longer compulsory and is no longer regarded as a secondary etiquette.

The existence of dowry is not the only criterion to measure the happiness of marriage. In marriage, husband and wife should respect, support and understand each other, run a family and establish a harmonious and stable family relationship. Therefore, whether dowry is needed or not should be decided by both husband and wife according to their actual situation and cultural traditions. If both sides recognize and respect the tradition of dowry, then the man should try his best to meet the demands of the woman, but if both sides disagree with this tradition, there is no need to ask too much.
