Did your girlfriend's family ask for dowry when you get married?

Its big here , its called Sin Sod , more so amongst Isaan people , and very many variances of same , it would be rare or non existent to the majority here unless Indian or Asian.

Personally , its not something I'd agree to, its often abused.

I note a picture is now attached showing Thai Baht , message for who put that there , its called Sin Sod , and it dieing , but very slowly dieing in Isaan ( and some parts of the South ) , where in some cases Mumma has collected multiples = Not good , but normally only from stupid farangs.

sort of, we spent all the dowry money on wedding expenses so none came to her family.
objectively it seems like slave buying so that dowry is bad.

That’s specific to a few Eastern/Mideastern cultural traditions these days. Most of Western society doesn’t do dowries anymore.

[strateguy632]

i agree, those slave sellers who sell their daughters but did not respect humans yet.

No that stopped in like 1700 or maybe 1780.

[strateguy632]

yes around then

[DrPepper12]

LOL NO. Here was my welcome to the family when we told her mother we (me born Catholic and her Jewish) we're engaged: "Were doing to ourselves what Hitler couldn't finish".
