Why does the man give a dowry when he gets married? What is the general standard?

According to the custom left over from China tradition, in China, the woman usually lives in the man's house, and the children born in the future are generally named after the man. In the future, I will provide for the elderly for the man's parents and take care of their family. The woman's parents have raised her daughter so much that the man's dowry is equivalent to the feeling of buyout. But now the woman's parents will give her daughter a bride price and give her some money as a dowry, because he doesn't want her to suffer in the man's house.

Bian Xiao was born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. This is a coastal area, and the economic development is still relatively good. So I will briefly talk about the situation here. In rural areas, for example, men usually give128,000, with no upper limit. How much bride price to give the woman depends on the man's family conditions. If you sent a lot of bride price in the past, the dowry brought by others will usually be returned. Even so, men and women need to sit down and discuss the exact amount. There are no exact figures. Both parents-in-law can sit down and talk, just give it symbolically.

Nowadays, with the continuous development of social economy, people's thinking should also be constantly improved. In fact, regarding the bride price, the woman asked too much at first. If the man's parents are older and unable to pay back the money, the debt will still fall on the husband and wife. So it depends on what the woman thinks. Some people think that the bride price should not be given at all, and you should see it clearly when you get married, so you should give it more. Some people think that the bride price is too much, and the husband and wife will pay it back in the end, so there is no need to ask too much.

In fact, the key issue of marriage is that two people should love each other, understand each other, trust each other and support each other, so that marriage can accompany them to old age. If marriage is based on material things and two people's tempers don't get along, then this marriage won't last long.
