Marriage is a major event in one’s life. Of course, both parties will have to spend a lot of time considering and thinking to reach the final decision in the most comfortable and happy way. Because no one wants a wedding with many complications, especially when it comes to money and dowry.
In any wedding, the dowry that the groom's family brings to the bride's family to ask for the bride is indispensable, no matter how little or much.
The value of this dowry also depends on many different factors such as the wishes of the bride's family, the conditions of the groom's family, local customs, etc.
So both sides can agree with each other tactfully so that the wedding goes smoothly.
Recently, a story related to the dowry money of a couple in Henan (China) has caused a stir among the public.
According to the posted image, the couple is in the bridal chamber. While the groom looks very happy because he has successfully brought his bride home, the bride has a frowning face, lifeless eyes, feeling like she was forced into marriage.
Even when the groom kissed her on the cheek, the bride kept a cold expression, even if not subtle, one could sense the awkward atmosphere.
Even when the groom kisses her cheek, the bride is not happy.
The couple’s confusing moments have been the subject of many theories by netizens. Some people believe that the bride was deeply in love with another man but her family objected and arranged for her to marry this man. Others speculate that the bride was sad because she had to leave her parents and live with her husband’s family.
Amidst the speculation, a person who claimed to know the couple explained the cause of the incident. This person said that the bride was not satisfied with the dowry that the groom brought to ask for her hand in marriage.
Previously, the bride's family asked for 380,000 NDT (about 1.3 billion VND) but the groom only brought 180,000 NDT (about 640 million VND), the remaining amount would be paid in installments later.
The mother-in-law saw that the dowry was not as requested, so she coolly told her daughter that she did not need to return to her parents' house anymore, she did not have such a useless daughter.
That's why the new bride is not happy. She also understands that her husband can't give the remaining money to her parents, even if he wanted to, she still wouldn't agree. Because after marriage, the property is shared.
Even though the dowry was insufficient, the couple could not afford to cancel the wedding at the last minute, which is why the bride was so sullen. The groom, on the other hand, was busy rejoicing over his wife, grinning from start to finish. Perhaps in the bride’s eyes, this smile was even more unpleasant, thinking that this was the expression of having gotten a good deal.
From beginning to end, the bride kept an unpleasant expression on her face.
With this incident, netizens have left many mixed opinions.
Some people think that the bride's family's offer is too high, it's like relying on their daughter to make money. If they truly love their daughter, the bride's parents can say that it's a dowry so that the couple can have capital to do business, making both sides proud.
However, there are also people who defend the bride's family, asserting that the amount of money is not enough to raise a child, so it is reasonable to want a high dowry. Meanwhile, the groom only brought less than half of the amount, showing no sincerity. If they feel they cannot afford it, the groom and his family should be honest with the bride's family from the beginning, not waiting until the wedding day to create problems.
Currently, people are still leaving different comments, the bride and groom have not shared anything yet.
