Re: How much gold is put by the Grooms side for the bride now and days?
It depends on where you live.
In Pakistan, brides can use the gold sets more since there are more dawats and socializing, and hosts tend to haww haye if you're not wearing enough stuff.. but abroad, for instance here in U.S, not everyone will care.. so it all really depends on the family. Also, there's a tradition of displaying jahez in Pakistan in alot of families so people give more than one set so that people don't think they are being kanjoos.
