彩禮什麼意思

彩禮，又稱為聘禮，是指在結婚時男方給予女方的一種禮物或財物，用來表示男方的誠意和財力，同時也是對女方家長的一種尊重和感謝。彩禮的內容可以有很多種，包括金錢、珠寶、首飾、家具、家電等，depending on the customs and financial capabilities of both families.

In some cultures, the amount and value of the dowry can be a significant factor in the marriage negotiations, and in some cases, it can even be a source of conflict between the two families. However, in many modern societies, the emphasis on dowry has decreased, and couples often prefer to focus on the emotional and personal aspects of their relationship rather than on material possessions.
