At present, there is no legal definition for "dowries" or "dowries" in Chinese law. In practice, we generally believe that dowry refers to the sum of money and items that the bride brings to her in laws' family, which is paid by the bride's family.
And dowries, also known as betrothal gifts, refer to the amount of cash or property given by the man to the woman before marriage, in accordance with local customs, after the confirmation of the romantic relationship between the man and the woman, expressing his sincerity to enter into marriage with the other party. In ancient Chinese law, the marriage formed from this is called "betrothal marriage".
In marriage, the man should give a dowry and the woman should accompany the dowry. This is not only a traditional custom of the Chinese nation, but also still prevalent in various regions of China in today's era.
