The bride price is an amount of money or goods settled on the bride's family by the groom's family, historically, to compensate it for the loss of her labor and fertility within her group of kin.

When giving money to the bride and groom the money should be put in their wedding card under their new married name: Example: John & Jane Doe.When doing this, be certain the bride is intending to change her name to that of her husband. Many women no longer change their names for a large number of reasons.
The families of the bride and groom have refused to release the cost of the wedding.

If you ask Islamic marriage a maulvi(like the Christianity's father)asks the bride and groom to be if they agree to being married three times(nikah) and a mehr (any amount of money fixed by the bride which the groom has to give her bride in case of divorce) is fixed and other formalities etc....but if you mean th traditional Pakistani marriage then there are hundred's of traditions(mehndi,waleema etc)
The groom will provide the dowry (mahr) to the bride (not her family). The mahr is usually money but can be anything agreed by the groom and bride, and remains her property unless she divorces him. If the husband divorces the wife, she retains ownership of the mahr.
