I don't really approve of it. Many cultures in South Africa do that. The common name is Labola.
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.
