Sin Sod at Thai Weddings
If you attend a wedding in Thailand or a Thai wedding, you might come across the practice of Sin Sod. Sin Sod, also referred to as Thai Dowry, involves the groom giving payment to the bride’s family as a gesture of gratitude for the “loss” of their daughter. This payment signifies the groom’s ability to support and care for the bride financially.
Sin Sod holds deep roots in Thai tradition and is considered highly significant. It serves as a way for the bride’s family to secure their future financial well-being, as the groom is expected to provide for his new family. Additionally, as part of this tradition, it is customary for the groom to move into the household of the bride’s family after the wedding.
