Definition

Dowry is a gift of money or property given to the groom's family by the bride's family during marriage. It can also refer to any valuable security given in connection with a marriage.

It's pretty common in countries like India and Pakistan but would like to know if it's also prevalent elsewhere.

Also please mention your country as well when commenting.

Yes, there is.

No, there isn't.

Unfortunately yes, we have a dowry tradition. I think the dowry tradition is outdated. Where are you from?

[Tuntus]

I'm from India. I guess you're from somewhere in South Asia as well?

No, I am from a country in Southwest Asia.
