The dowry — “proika” in
Greek — is centuries old. It
takes the form of money, real
estate or any material gift to
the bride by her parents upon
marriage. The belief has been
that the higher the value of the
dowry, the better husband it
will attract. Consequently it has
often become an ’object of bar-
gaining by potential bride-
grooms known here as “proko-
tbires” — or dowry hunters: i
; The dovyry remains en-
trenched in the nation's laws,
which also gives the bride the I
legal right to demand it from
any unwilling parent. In the
case of divorce, the woman
keeps her dowry. A widely read
monthly newspaper called
"Wedding Matches”
carries
■ proposals by men. and women
: seeking mat®, and women un-
1 failingly specify a dowry offer.
■ • A woman without some val-
ued property may often find it
difficult, to get married, ®pe-
eially in the more backward
provinces where arranged mar-
riages are still more common
than love match®. Most Greek
coupl® consequently prefer to
have sons, fearing future dowry
