What does Capulet threaten to do if Juliet refuses to marry Paris?

When Juliet refuses to marry Count Paris, he says to Juliet:
An you be mine, I'll give you to my friend;
And you be not, hang, beg, starve, die on the streets,
I think this basically means that should Juliet choose not to marry Paris, he will disown her, and will no longer regard her as his own. Note that Capulet is thinking of Juliet as a possession at this time, ("an you be mine, I'll give you") which is a strong contrast to his perspective in Act I when Paris comes a-wooing.

Was Juliette a Montague or a Capulet?
One person answered: Capulet - it was Capulet's desire to have his daughter, Juliet, marry within the family or in other words Paris. However, this is wrong. Paris is a relative of Duke Escalus, which is why he says at the end of the play that he has lost "a brace of kinsmen" (Paris and Mercutio). Juliet had never met Paris before the party where she also meets Romeo. Paris is neither Montague nor Capulet
