<< review queue entry 34879 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> An odd wording -- "give dowry" doesn't sound idiomatic ... and is there some sort of dowry that is not "for marriage"? Editor: 聘 is the gifts you must give to the bride. They can be quite symbolic though, it's not a "bride-price". The marriage engagement is only definitive when the gifts have been offered and accepted. |
