However, in judicial practice, dowry is generally regarded as the woman's pre-marital property, so it belongs to the personal property of one spouse. Although the dowry purchased by the woman for marriage was purchased after the marriage registration and before the wedding ceremony, the husband and wife did not actually live together and had no labor and income. Most of the funds for buying real estate are the parents or other close relatives of the woman, and a few also have the personal income of both husband and wife before marriage.
The issue of bride price or dowry can only be based on local customs. Moreover, the marriage registration of men and women is based on feelings. If the woman cares too much about the bride price, or the man's family cares too much about the dowry, it will damage the feelings of both parties and be very unfavorable to the future marriage life. Therefore, issues such as dowry or bride price should be negotiated.
Getting married is a very important thing for an ordinary family. The man tried his best to buy a house and a car for his son. In order to marry a new wife, the man's parents hollowed out his money and saved enough money for the bride price.
If the woman's parents were sensible, they would have sent their daughter a car long ago, and the more powerful mother-in-law directly married several houses. The purpose is to prevent my daughter from marrying into her husband's family.
Especially for urban girls, parents are very polite, and they all know how much bride price the man's family gives and how much the family wants in return. Many girls want to get back the bride price given by the man's family, which is formalism.
Dowry, kind parents hope that their daughters can live well in other people's homes and have a certain position in their in-laws' homes without being bullied. So many dowries or valuables can show the authority of the woman's family. In ancient times, dowry was a woman's private property, but now it is still used in a family, so women may be a little bitter.
