  10. @ Lina Gustina As I saw, the "poor" bride wears a dress adorned with artificial gold wires and stones.They also uses artificial jewelries.The dowries are not much because they are married to men in the same caste.Here, it is arranged marriage.Rich married to the rich also especially, within the family.Women from poor families are doing jobs so they can afford to buy their dowries.
