[quote=DODGER,458168]I have just asked my wife about the issue of ‘Bride price’. Firstly the practice seems to differ from place to place, but the underling facts appears to be the wealth of the bride’s family and class driven. If they are rich they will offer a house, car and cash to the couple. If they are poor they may expect some compensation for loosing the income of the bride, who traditionally leaves her family to become the daughter of her husbands’ parents. Add to that, the guests at the wedding feast are expected to present a red envelope. The amount of money in this is again dependent on the wealth of the invited guests, but ‘face’ is also involved. I try to avoid being invited to too many. It can become expensive. I hope this helps. Cheers, Dodger. [/quote]
