Description

A dowry is a payment, such as property or money, paid by the bride's family to the groom or his family at the time of marriage. Dowry contrasts with the related concepts of bride price and dower. While bride price or bride service is a payment by the groom, or his family, to the bride, or her family, dowry is the wealth transferred from the bride, or her family, to the groom, or his family. Similarly, dower is the property settled on the bride herself, by the groom at the time of marriage, and which remains under her ownership and control.

যৌতুক হলো কন্যার বিবাহে পিতামাতার সম্পত্তির হস্তান্তর প্রক্রিয়া। ‘যু’ ধাতু থেকে নিষ্পন্ন ‘যুত’ শব্দের অর্থ যুক্ত; বুৎপত্তিগত অর্থ হলো, পাত্র-পাত্রীর যুক্ত হওয়ার সময়ে অর্থাৎ বিয়ের সময় পাত্রীর জন্য যা কিছু মূল্যবান সামগ্রী দেয়া হয়, তা যৌতুক।
