In many cultures, dowries are offered from the bride's family to the groom's family as a sign of respect and gratitude.
The practice of giving dowries originated in ancient times when women were considered property and a financial burden to their families.
In some societies, the amount of the dowry was determined by the bride's social status, family background, and beauty.
Historically, dowries were used to secure the bride's future in case of divorce or widowhood.
