How much is everyone's wedding bride price and his dowry?

There is no accurate standard for the amount. The specific amount and payment method of bride price depend on the requirements of the woman's family and the economic situation of the man's family. The amount of dowry is also determined according to the actual situation and economic situation of the woman's family.

Bridal price is one of the ancient wedding customs in China, also known as betrothal price, bride price and engagement. In ancient China, when an engagement was concluded, it was customary to exchange betrothal money and bride price. This kind of betrothal money and dowry is usually called "bride price". During the period after the founding of New China, the bride price and the engagement related to the bride price were criticized and once abolished, but they have always existed among the people.

At the engagement ceremony, the man's family will give the woman a "bride price" composed of items symbolizing happiness in the name of the engaged man. After receiving the bride price, the bride's family will also give the man considerable property, which is called "return gift". When a woman gets married, her family will add several times or even dozens of times of property to her husband's family on the basis of bride price, which is called "dowry".
