The graph shows the amount of money given as a gift to brides' parents in China as of June 2013.

Although with rising standards of living in China, this aspect is no longer a concern, many brides and their families still view a suiter's income as a barometer for his marriageability. In Henan province, men paid an average of 9,600 US dollars to their future spouse's family for their consent to the marriage.
