Bridewealth Systems

Bridewealth Systems is a social exchange framework in which the transfer of resources from the groom's family to the bride's family constitutes a formal marital obligation, distinguishing it from other kinship exchange practices by its role in establishing, legitimizing, and stabilizing intergroup alliances through directed resource flows.
