Who pays the Dowry in Turkish weddings?
The first thing that stands out in Turkish weddings is the dowry.
The dowry is an obligation of every Muslim man to give to the bride and is a way to secure the bride financially after the wedding. In the event that she becomes a widow, the groom has the obligation to give it, even if the bride is a foreigner.
The dowry is agreed on the day of the betrothal between the families. Everything necessary for the new home, housing, electrical appliances, belongings, etc. is also agreed upon.
In the bride’s house another dowry is prepared, which is even prepared since a woman is born or is very small. And it is about the sheets, towels, tablecloths, curtains and even the clothes of future babies. They are garments embroidered in fine fabrics and of great delicacy.
One week before getting married the groom goes to the bride’s house to look for that dowry, to take it to the new home. In order to remove the garments you must pay and it is customary to give about 20 Turkish lira. He is accompanied by musicians and friends and it is quite a party.
