Value of Bride's Gold vs Sin Sod?

[Chico]

Many Thais do the same and they charge per email exchanged, and they set it up for free, if the woman gets connected she gets charged a few nowhere near 50,000.

There are pimps doing the same on craigslist, they charge the girls 30% of rate she charges customer.

[Chico]

She gets charged a FEE.

^I said it "is" not a western concept - I didn't say it never was. Of course it once was. As I said...antiquated and needless.

Really? Is that why they have prenuptial agreements then in the US, Europe and the UK still?

I married my Thai Wife in 2006/7 Her Aunts Family Sorted the Party, My Wife's Mother, gave me the Sin Sot, which I returned AFTER we had Consumated the Marriage. Any More Questions?

I refused to pay sin sot, she paid it herself, now she earns more than me!

Don, a belated welcome to the Forum ... where have you been all these years?

[surinboy]

The in-laws requested a large sin sot at my wedding but said that they would give it back to me. I complied as it was important for their reputation. He gave it back to me and thus earned my respect. Sometimes when living abroad you have to adapt and respect the culture.

Everything is negotiable - you can make it look how you want, but don't relinquish control just to save face.

[thaimeme]

Everything is negotiable

Of course.
And every situation will differ from the next [per this long argued subject matter].

Yes, three - but they're not really more questions since,...we'll I think you know why...

(1) In this context does "consumated" mean penetrative intercourse?

(2) What's his name?

(3) How broke were you?
