It seems fine in theory but the cost can virtually bankrupt the prospective groom.
Also one thing that can happen as a result of that is that the man may regard his wife as his property because he had to spend a lot of money to "buy" her.
I think it would be better for him to spend that money on a home or furniture.
I think it's a tradition that should be left in the past.
