All girls were trained with household chores, duties, and prepared for marriage. A sum of money, goods, and property were also expected at marriage as a dowry to be paid to the husband's family as a sign of respect.

In the past, it was common that a dowry in the form of a gift, property or money was paid by the bride's family to the family of the groom. Although the practice is ancestral and sounds old-fashion in today's modern world, some countries still expect to have this tradition in place.
