Social Sciences - Anthropology | | English term or phrase: bridal price | Bonjour à tous,
J'ai trouvé le terme "bride price" ou "bridal price" à propos de certains marriages au Pakistan.
Je ne sais pas si il existe un terme exact en français
Pensez-vous qu'il puisse s'agir d'un douaire ou d'un prix de noce?
Merci |

| | prix de la mariée | Explanation:
c'est le contraire exact de la dot, qui est offerte par la famille de la mariée au marié.
"A dowry (also known as trousseau or tocher or, in Latin, dos, or in Croatian and Slovenian, dota) is the money, goods, or estate that a woman brings to her husband in marriage.[1] It contrasts with bride price, which is paid to the bride's parents, and dower, which is property settled on the bride herself by the groom at the time of marriage. The same culture may simultaneously practice both dowry and bride price. Dowry is an ancient custom, and its existence may well predate records of it.

"un statut qui apparaît meilleur que celui d’autres femmes indiennes. En effet, il n’y a pas de mariages d’enfants, les veuves ne sont pas mises à l’écart, et la femme peut choisir avec qui elle souhaite se marier. A la place de la dot, il y a « le prix de la mariée » (the bride price) qui illustre le statut plus élevé de la femme tribale. Par ailleurs, la femme a le droit de divorcer et de se remarier. De plus, comme elle travaille, elle est financièrement indépendante."
