[quote=Anonymous]Give OP a break. It's clear he comes from a culture with different values around marriage, family, and money. There are some cultures where the family of brides are expected to pay large dowries to the grooms' families. In India, thousands of women are killed in dowry disputes every year. He has invested heavily in his daughter and feels his financial obligations to his daughter will continue after marriage. Maybe the other family does expect him to pay up. The worries he expresses reflect the tensions that arise in the transition from arranged marriages within castes (guaranteed social/economic between families and parental approval) and love matches. Without the strictures of tradition to direct behaviors, every marriage can entail these fraught considerations and negotiations. The same questions came up in Western societies as children started to choose their own mates.[/quote]
