Chinese men have to buy an apartment, a car (if necessary), give bride price to their parents-in-law and pay for their wedding ceremony (including the wedding banquet). An apartment costs too much and they have to ask loans from the bank. Why do Americans spend less money? They rent an apartment instead of buying one. What's more, the brides pay for their wedding ceremony (wedding banquet). I doubt about it. Do most Americans rent apartments to live? Do the brides pay for their wedding?

These rules are not written in stone, and I've seen cases where the family which could afford it pitched in and paid for things like a house or condo, reception, etc. regardless if it was the bride's family or the groom's.

I'll tell you what's written in stone: after the marriage and in a divorce, the wife's rights are.

Now to your other question: not every American owns his home. Home ownership may be considered "the American dream" but the reality is that most new couples rent. Mortgage loans used to be easy to obtain, but now they are not.

Since last year, China has launched policies to curb the bubbles in the real estates market. I am not sure if China will succeed or experience the same problem like the USA.

So in terms of womaniac US is still a 3rd world country compared with China.

Not everyone but a very large number of Chinese parents require their son-in-law to buy an apartment. That's why people say "It is the mother-in-law who make the house prices increase".

You needn't buy a house for your girl's parents. But your mother-in-law will ask you to buy an apartment for your girl.

All of guys are luck.No house,no car,no anthing when I was married to my husband.It's called naked marriage.Because we were loved each other 9 years before marry.But,now,we have our own house/home and car and baby etc through our hard working together. In my opinion,it's depend on both sides.If two pepole really love each other and willing to hard work together,then,no one will care about house and car available or not.
