Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A progeny price, also known as bride price or bride wealth, is paid by the groom or his family to the bride's family in some cultures as a customary practice of marriage. It is paid as a compensation to the bride's family for the loss of their daughter, as well as to establish the husband's rights to her and any children born of the marriage. In some cases, the progeny price may be returned to the groom's family if the marriage is dissolved.
