Re: Jahez culture
I didnt hear of dividing expenses but I did hear that they organise it now in a way that its not a burden to either party. The close relatives of both sides give gifts (which is normal) so now what they do is… they decide which household item to give..every relative chooses the one they wish to give from the list of household items needed to furnish. If something is v expensive..2-3 ppl pitch in and gift it together. Everyone gifts acc to their budget.
Even a few wedding service providers provide these services.
This way the gifts arent repeated and the new couple have lesser burden.
