[quote=CHERRY07,541950]Ms. Su met her Australian husband in Xian. After being together for 3 years, they plan to get married in Australia during Chinese Lunar New Year. However, their families have a trouble. Ms. Su’s parents ask for CNY 100000 as the bride price. Unfortunately, her future husband can’t afford to pay the bride price. Therefore, her parents suggest that their son-in-law’s parents should pay for the bride price. Ms Su’s mother-in-law said “No! No way!” after learning what Ms. Su’s parents said. Then she didn’t know what to do. According to her, her future mother-in-law and her future husband are financially independent. When they travel together, they pay their bills separately. Her future husband told her that he even earned money to buy the camera from his dad. Ms. Su understood that her parents didn’t ask the bride price for them. Instead, they did it for her good. However, she didn’t want to embarrass her future husband. According to what she said, her relatives told her parents that foreigners were rich so that they should ask more money as bride price. Her parents also agreed that they would be proud if they received a large amount of money, whereas they wouldn’t keep the money. In the future, they would give the money to her and her husband. Her relatives’ opinion is that her future husband should do as Chinese do. It is a Chinese tradition that the groom pays the bride. Therefore, he should pay the bride price though he is a foreigner. What would you do if you were Ms. Su’s mother-in-law? To pay the bride price for her son or not?[/quote]
