In Thailand, there are two types of marriages: civil and traditional\/pseudo-religious. A Buddhist marriage in Thailand is not a legal marriage. Dowries are given to the women\u2019s families, not the men\u2019s. The wedding party usually starts early in the morning so guests can rest in the afternoon.<br\/>\u0e07\u0e32\u0e19\u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e07\u0e07\u0e32\u0e19\u0e02\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e44\u0e17\u0e22\u0e40\u0e15\u0e47\u0e21\u0e44\u0e1b\u0e14\u0e49\u0e27\u0e22\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e1e\u0e13\u0e35 \u0e04\u0e27\u0e32\u0e21\u0e2a\u0e19\u0e38\u0e01\u0e2a\u0e19\u0e32\u0e19 \u0e41\u0e25\u0e30\u0e1a\u0e32\u0e07\u0e04\u0e23\u0e31\u0e49\u0e07\u0e01\u0e47\u0e2d\u0e32\u0e08\u0e01\u0e48\u0e2d\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e40\u0e01\u0e34\u0e14\u0e04\u0e27\u0e32\u0e21\u0e2a\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e2a\u0e19 \u0e1a\u0e17\u0e04\u0e27\u0e32\u0e21\u0e19\u0e35\u0e49\u0e08\u0e30\u0e01\u0e25\u0e48\u0e32\u0e27\u0e16\u0e36\u0e07\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e07\u0e07\u0e32\u0e19\u0e15\u0e32\u0e21\u0e2b\u0e25\u0e31\u0e01\u0e1e\u0e38\u0e17\u0e18\u0e28\u0e32\u0e2a\u0e19\u0e32\u0e43\u0e19\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e17\u0e28\u0e44\u0e17\u0e22 \u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e07\u0e07\u0e32\u0e19\u0e15\u0e32\u0e21\u0e2b\u0e25\u0e31\u0e01\u0e1e\u0e38\u0e17\u0e18\u0e28\u0e32\u0e2a\u0e19\u0e32\u0e43\u0e19\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e17\u0e28\u0e44\u0e17\u0e22\u0e19\u0e31\u0e49\u0e19\u0e44\u0e21\u0e48\u0e44\u0e14\u0e49\u0e23\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e23\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e23\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e17\u0e32\u0e07\u0e01\u0e0e\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e32\u0e22 \u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e2b\u0e25\u0e32\u0e22\u0e04\u0e39\u0e48\u0e01\u0e47\u0e08\u0e14\u0e17\u0e30\u0e40\u0e1a\u0e35\u0e22\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e21\u0e23\u0e2a\u0e2d\u0e22\u0e48\u0e32\u0e07\u0e16\u0e39\u0e01\u0e15\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e15\u0e32\u0e21\u0e01\u0e0e\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e32\u0e22\u0e40\u0e0a\u0e48\u0e19\u0e01\u0e31\u0e19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tlo-hublink wp-block-paragraph\">\u0e1e\u0e34\u0e18\u0e35\u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e07\u0e07\u0e32\u0e19\u0e41\u0e25\u0e30\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e2a\u0e21\u0e23\u0e2a\u0e15\u0e32\u0e21\u0e01\u0e0e\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e32\u0e22\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e47\u0e19\u0e04\u0e19\u0e25\u0e30\u0e40\u0e23\u0e37\u0e48\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e01\u0e31\u0e19\u0e43\u0e19\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e17\u0e28\u0e44\u0e17\u0e22 \u0e0b\u0e36\u0e48\u0e07\u0e40\u0e23\u0e32\u0e44\u0e14\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e18\u0e34\u0e1a\u0e32\u0e22\u0e44\u0e27\u0e49\u0e43\u0e19\u0e04\u0e39\u0e48\u0e21\u0e37\u0e2d\u0e02\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e40\u0e23\u0e32\u0e2a\u0e33\u0e2b\u0e23\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e40\u0e23\u0e37\u0e48\u0e2d\u0e07 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/th\/thai-family-law\/\">\u0e01\u0e0e\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e32\u0e22\u0e04\u0e23\u0e2d\u0e1a\u0e04\u0e23\u0e31\u0e27\u0e43\u0e19\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e17\u0e28\u0e44\u0e17\u0e22<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Last reviewed: 8 September 2026. This page was telling readers that a same-sex couple could not yet marry in Thailand and that this would change during 2025. Same-sex couples have been able to marry here since 23 January 2025, and that passage has been corrected. The legal statements on this page were read against the Thai text in our own annotated Civil and Commercial Code: sections 1435 and 1437 on betrothal, khong man and sin sod, 1448 and 1458 on who may marry and on consent, 1457 on registration being what creates a marriage, and 1466 on prenuptial agreements. What this review did NOT check, said rather than implied: none of the money amounts on this page comes from a source we hold, including the photography, gift and dowry figures, and the gold weight in the engagement section was corrected as arithmetic only, because how much gold the custom calls for is not something we can verify. The ceremony, procession and reception sections are cultural description rather than law and were not part of this review.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\" id=\"Buddhist-Marriage-in-Thailand\"><img alt=\"\u0e2d\u0e34\u0e19\u0e42\u0e1f\u0e01\u0e23\u0e32\u0e1f\u0e34\u0e01\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e35\u0e22\u0e1a\u0e40\u0e17\u0e35\u0e22\u0e1a\u0e1e\u0e34\u0e18\u0e35\u0e2a\u0e21\u0e23\u0e2a\u0e41\u0e1a\u0e1a\u0e1e\u0e38\u0e17\u0e18\u0e14\u0e31\u0e49\u0e07\u0e40\u0e14\u0e34\u0e21\u0e01\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e01\u0e23\u0e30\u0e1a\u0e27\u0e19\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e08\u0e14\u0e17\u0e30\u0e40\u0e1a\u0e35\u0e22\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e21\u0e23\u0e2a\u0e15\u0e32\u0e21\u0e01\u0e0e\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e32\u0e22\u0e43\u0e19\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e17\u0e28\u0e44\u0e17\u0e22 \u0e42\u0e14\u0e22\u0e2d\u0e18\u0e34\u0e1a\u0e32\u0e22\u0e23\u0e32\u0e22\u0e25\u0e30\u0e40\u0e2d\u0e35\u0e22\u0e14\u0e04\u0e27\u0e32\u0e21\u0e41\u0e15\u0e01\u0e15\u0e48\u0e32\u0e07\u0e23\u0e30\u0e2b\u0e27\u0e48\u0e32\u0e07\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e2a\u0e21\u0e23\u0e2a\u0e17\u0e32\u0e07\u0e08\u0e34\u0e15\u0e27\u0e34\u0e0d\u0e0d\u0e32\u0e13 \u0e0b\u0e36\u0e48\u0e07\u0e23\u0e27\u0e21\u0e16\u0e36\u0e07\u0e2a\u0e34\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e2d\u0e14 \u0e41\u0e25\u0e30\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e2a\u0e21\u0e23\u0e2a\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e21\u0e35\u0e1c\u0e25\u0e1c\u0e39\u0e01\u0e1e\u0e31\u0e19\u0e17\u0e32\u0e07\u0e01\u0e0e\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e32\u0e22\u0e0b\u0e36\u0e48\u0e07\u0e08\u0e14\u0e17\u0e30\u0e40\u0e1a\u0e35\u0e22\u0e19\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e2a\u0e33\u0e19\u0e31\u0e01\u0e07\u0e32\u0e19\u0e40\u0e02\u0e15 (\u0e2d\u0e33\u0e40\u0e20\u0e2d).\" class=\"wp-image-30320 tlo-responsive-img\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/traditional-buddhist-marriage-vs-legal-registration-thailand-infographic.png\" style=\"width:800px\" title=\"\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e07\u0e07\u0e32\u0e19\u0e41\u0e1a\u0e1a\u0e1e\u0e38\u0e17\u0e18\u0e43\u0e19\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e17\u0e28\u0e44\u0e17\u0e22\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><h2>\u0e2a\u0e32\u0e23\u0e1a\u0e31\u0e0d<\/h2><nav><ul><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#technical-matters\">\u0e02\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e21\u0e39\u0e25\u0e17\u0e32\u0e07\u0e40\u0e17\u0e04\u0e19\u0e34\u0e04\u0e40\u0e01\u0e35\u0e48\u0e22\u0e27\u0e01\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e2a\u0e21\u0e23\u0e2a\u0e15\u0e32\u0e21\u0e2b\u0e25\u0e31\u0e01\u0e1e\u0e38\u0e17\u0e18\u0e28\u0e32\u0e2a\u0e19\u0e32\u0e43\u0e19\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e17\u0e28\u0e44\u0e17\u0e22<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#1-engagements\">1. \u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e31\u0e49\u0e19\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e32\u0e22<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#2-the-dowry-in-thailand-it-is-not-a-legal-obligation-but-a-custom\">2. \u0e2a\u0e34\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e2d\u0e14\u0e43\u0e19\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e17\u0e28\u0e44\u0e17\u0e22 (\u0e44\u0e21\u0e48\u0e43\u0e0a\u0e48\u0e02\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e1c\u0e39\u0e01\u0e1e\u0e31\u0e19\u0e17\u0e32\u0e07\u0e01\u0e0e\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e32\u0e22 \u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e47\u0e19\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e1e\u0e13\u0e35)<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#3-get-up-early-to-feed-the-monks\">3. \u0e15\u0e37\u0e48\u0e19\u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e40\u0e0a\u0e49\u0e32\u0e40\u0e1e\u0e37\u0e48\u0e2d\u0e44\u0e1b\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e32\u0e2b\u0e32\u0e23\u0e1e\u0e23\u0e30\u0e2a\u0e07\u0e06\u0e4c<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#4-into-the-bedroom\">4. \u0e40\u0e02\u0e49\u0e32\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e19\u0e2d\u0e19\u0e01\u0e31\u0e19\u0e40\u0e25\u0e22!<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#5-the-party\">5. \u0e1e\u0e23\u0e23\u0e04<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#frequently-asked-questions\">\u0e04\u0e33\u0e16\u0e32\u0e21\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e1e\u0e1a\u0e1a\u0e48\u0e2d\u0e22<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"technical-matters\">\u0e02\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e21\u0e39\u0e25\u0e17\u0e32\u0e07\u0e40\u0e17\u0e04\u0e19\u0e34\u0e04\u0e40\u0e01\u0e35\u0e48\u0e22\u0e27\u0e01\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e2a\u0e21\u0e23\u0e2a\u0e15\u0e32\u0e21\u0e2b\u0e25\u0e31\u0e01\u0e1e\u0e38\u0e17\u0e18\u0e28\u0e32\u0e2a\u0e19\u0e32\u0e43\u0e19\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e17\u0e28\u0e44\u0e17\u0e22<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-engagements\">1. \u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e31\u0e49\u0e19\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e32\u0e22<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As marriage leads to babies, so does marriage spring forth from engagements, which are also a part of Thai tradition.\u00a0In Thailand, couples do not use engagement or promise rings like in the West. Instead, they have a thong mun ceremony. During this ceremony, the groom promises to marry his sweetheart. He does this by offering gold, usually weighing 2 baht, which is about 30.4 grams: one baht of gold weighs about 15.2 grams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Buddhist marriage in Thailand is very important. It often shows the couple\u2019s commitment to cultural traditions and family values. Each part of the ceremony honors the families of both the bride and groom. It shows how important community is in a Buddhist marriage in Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many cases, a Buddhist marriage in Thailand includes rituals. These rituals show the couple\u2019s love for each other, their families, and the community. This deep-rooted respect for tradition is what makes a Buddhist marriage in Thailand unique and meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In practice, the parents of the bride and groom would meet before the ceremony. They would discuss the couple\u2019;s suitability and start planning the dowry and wedding. Nowadays, this formal engagement is often skipped.

More money is also flowing into Thai households. Many couples now choose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/th\/glossary\/prenuptial\/\">prenups<\/a>. These prenups are binding under Thai law. They can outline rights and ownership in case of divorce.\u00a0It\u2019s just like lawyers to spoil the romance!\u00a0Prenups are still rare among most people. However, they are becoming a new tradition for Thai-foreigner couples. This change is likely due to worries about differences in money and language barriers. A Buddhist marriage is not a legal marriage in Thailand. Prenuptial agreements are only for the legal registration, which is the legal marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"traditional-vs-civil-marriage\">\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e07\u0e07\u0e32\u0e19\u0e15\u0e32\u0e21\u0e41\u0e1a\u0e1a\u0e1e\u0e38\u0e17\u0e18\u0e14\u0e31\u0e49\u0e07\u0e40\u0e14\u0e34\u0e21\u0e43\u0e19\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e17\u0e28\u0e44\u0e17\u0e22 \u0e40\u0e17\u0e35\u0e22\u0e1a\u0e01\u0e31\u0e1a \u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e07\u0e07\u0e32\u0e19\u0e15\u0e32\u0e21\u0e01\u0e0e\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e32\u0e22\u0e41\u0e1e\u0e48\u0e07<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Thailand, there are two types of marriage. Only one type is legally binding. The other type is enforced by social norms.\u00a0The state requires couples to register their marriage to have it recognized by Thai courts. This is very important for finances and child <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/th\/glossary\/child-custody\/\">\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e14\u0e39\u0e41\u0e25<\/a>.\u00a0You can register easily by bringing the right paperwork to the local district office.

They may be enough for the local community to recognize the couple\u2019s union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In every part of the world, marriage is a traditional act. It gives couples social status and acceptance in their community. This status aligns with the values of that community.\u00a0In Thailand, it is common to have a traditional wedding ceremony along with a civil marriage. Sometimes, people have the traditional ceremony instead of the legal one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/th\/same-sex-marriage-in-thailand\/\">\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e07\u0e07\u0e32\u0e19\u0e02\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e04\u0e39\u0e48\u0e23\u0e31\u0e01\u0e40\u0e1e\u0e28\u0e40\u0e14\u0e35\u0e22\u0e27\u0e01\u0e31\u0e19<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Same-sex marriage is widely accepted in Thailand, and since 23 January 2025 it has also been lawful. The Civil and Commercial Code Amendment Act (No. 24) B.E. 2567 replaced the Code\u2019s references to a man and a woman with two persons, so section 1458 now reads that a marriage may be made when two persons consent to be spouses of each other, and any couple may register at a district office on the same terms as any other. Traditional ceremonies for these unions are common, and, exactly as for an opposite-sex couple, the ceremony is not the marriage: only the registration is.\u00a0Another quirk is that monks cannot marry. However, many events in a many\u2019s life may lead him to become a monk for a short time. These events include the death of a parent, atonement for sins, or fulfilling promises to spirits.\u00a0Here\u2019s an article that goes deeper into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/th\/same-sex-marriage-in-thailand\/\">\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e2a\u0e21\u0e23\u0e2a\u0e23\u0e30\u0e2b\u0e27\u0e48\u0e32\u0e07\u0e40\u0e1e\u0e28\u0e40\u0e14\u0e35\u0e22\u0e27\u0e01\u0e31\u0e19\u0e43\u0e19\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e17\u0e28\u0e44\u0e17\u0e22<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In these cases, a man\u2019s marriage is seen as ended when he becomes ordained.

So, it might be a good idea to buy a nice camera and some online Photoshop tutorials!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-the-dowry-in-thailand-it-is-not-a-legal-obligation-but-a-custom\">2. \u0e40\u0e14\u0e2d\u0e30 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/th\/marriage-in-thailand\/\">\u0e2a\u0e34\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e2d\u0e14\u0e43\u0e19\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e17\u0e28\u0e44\u0e17\u0e22<\/a> (\u0e44\u0e21\u0e48\u0e43\u0e0a\u0e48\u0e02\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e1c\u0e39\u0e01\u0e1e\u0e31\u0e19\u0e17\u0e32\u0e07\u0e01\u0e0e\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e32\u0e22 \u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e47\u0e19\u0e18\u0e23\u0e23\u0e21\u0e40\u0e19\u0e35\u0e22\u0e21\u0e1b\u0e0f\u0e34\u0e1a\u0e31\u0e15\u0e34)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u0e2a\u0e34\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e2d\u0e14\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e47\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e48\u0e27\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e33\u0e04\u0e31\u0e0d\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e2a\u0e38\u0e14\u0e02\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e40\u0e15\u0e23\u0e35\u0e22\u0e21\u0e07\u0e32\u0e19\u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e07\u0e07\u0e32\u0e19 \u0e42\u0e14\u0e22\u0e40\u0e09\u0e1e\u0e32\u0e30\u0e2d\u0e22\u0e48\u0e32\u0e07\u0e22\u0e34\u0e48\u0e07\u0e2a\u0e33\u0e2b\u0e23\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e1d\u0e48\u0e32\u0e22\u0e0a\u0e32\u0e22 \u0e0b\u0e36\u0e48\u0e07\u0e44\u0e21\u0e48\u0e40\u0e04\u0e22\u0e16\u0e39\u0e01\u0e21\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e02\u0e49\u0e32\u0e21\u0e44\u0e1b\u0e2d\u0e22\u0e48\u0e32\u0e07\u0e07\u0e48\u0e32\u0e22\u0e14\u0e32\u0e22 \u0e43\u0e19\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e07\u0e07\u0e32\u0e19\u0e41\u0e1a\u0e1a\u0e1e\u0e38\u0e17\u0e18\u0e43\u0e19\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e17\u0e28\u0e44\u0e17\u0e22 \u0e1e\u0e48\u0e2d\u0e41\u0e21\u0e48\u0e02\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e17\u0e31\u0e49\u0e07\u0e2a\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e1d\u0e48\u0e32\u0e22\u0e08\u0e30\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e47\u0e19\u0e1c\u0e39\u0e49\u0e01\u0e33\u0e2b\u0e19\u0e14\u0e08\u0e33\u0e19\u0e27\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e34\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e2d\u0e14 \u0e08\u0e33\u0e19\u0e27\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e34\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e2d\u0e14\u0e19\u0e35\u0e49\u0e41\u0e2a\u0e14\u0e07\u0e16\u0e36\u0e07\u0e04\u0e38\u0e13\u0e04\u0e48\u0e32\u0e02\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e1d\u0e48\u0e32\u0e22\u0e2b\u0e0d\u0e34\u0e07\u0e41\u0e25\u0e30\u0e04\u0e27\u0e32\u0e21\u0e21\u0e38\u0e48\u0e07\u0e21\u0e31\u0e48\u0e19\u0e02\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e1d\u0e48\u0e32\u0e22\u0e0a\u0e32\u0e22\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e21\u0e35\u0e15\u0e48\u0e2d\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e07\u0e07\u0e32\u0e19\u0e41\u0e1a\u0e1a\u0e1e\u0e38\u0e17\u0e18\u0e43\u0e19\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e17\u0e28\u0e44\u0e17\u0e22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many families see the dowry as an important part of a successful Buddhist marriage in Thailand. It helps strengthen the bonds between the families. No Thai law requires a dowry and no court will order anyone to pay one, but the Civil and Commercial Code does regulate what becomes of it: section 1437 defines sin sod as property given to the parents, adoptive parent or guardian of the betrothed person in return for that person agreeing to marry, and it can be reclaimed only where the marriage does not take place for an important cause attributable to that person, or because of circumstances that side is responsible for.
