Bride price and dowry are two traditional concepts in marriage, and different cultures and countries have different understandings and practices of them. In some cultures, the bride price is a certain amount or item paid by the man to the woman to show respect and gratitude to her family, and can also be used to solve the expenses in the wedding and married life. Dowry is some property and articles prepared by the woman before marriage, which is usually used to help the newlyweds establish a family and life. Dowry can also be a woman's family property, which is her inheritance right after marriage.

Balancing bride price and dowry can be done according to local cultural traditions and one's own economic ability. If the bride price is too high or the dowry is too high, it may lead to marriage inequality and bring pressure to the newlyweds. Therefore, the balance between bride price and dowry can be considered from the following aspects:

1. Understand the local cultural traditions and the reasonable amount and items of bride price and dowry.

2. Make a reasonable budget according to your own economic ability and financial situation.

3. Fully communicate and negotiate with unmarried partners to ensure that their views and expectations are consistent.

4. Avoid unnecessary pressure and disputes caused by bride price and dowry, and make both parties equal and happy in marriage.
