[quote=ELEMENT,245838]This is a conventional custom. In the past in China, after the daughter married, she would have few chance to take care of her parents. She would belong to his husband and did everything for her husband, her parents in law and the children. That is why old Chinese always hoped to have a son instead of a daughter. So the betrothal gifts were required for some compensation. Nowadays, dowry is surely no longer kind of compensation. In a sense, it can show your determination to marry her daughter. And also it can be some guarantee for your marriage. If you divorced, the dowry is not refundable. If you want to get marriage again, you have to pay the dowry once again. Anyway, do not take this too serious. Love is the decisive factor in your marriage. If you do love each other, just pay that. One day, when you have a daughter, you son in law will pay you back. Just joking! Don't mind! :)[/quote]
