In
Thailand, the Bride Pays for Everything
|
In
Thailand, it is similar to what goes on in Indonesia; the same period
of three months is there. However, it is more strange to know that the
bride is the one that carries the responsibility of all marriage
expenses. She buys the clothes for her groom and herself of course.
The
bride’s father is responsible for preparing an average bedroom
according to the dower the groom pays. Uthman Hussain Salih from Patan
says: “ The dowers are not too expensive or skyrocketing. They never
exceed the amount of 25 thousand Pats making 500 $. I myself paid only
500 Pats making 20 $ because I am the only one in my village
memorizing the whole Qur’an.
In
the wedding night, all neighbors, Muslims and Buddhists are invited to
participate and share us our joy.
