Show THURSDAY, Inflation Endows World's Marriages With everything else going up in cost, now add the price of a bride or a husband. The price is called a dowry, and it is hardly ever charged anymore in the United States. But in many places where it is still part of life, the dowry is under fire, according to the National Geographic Society. Rising inflation has led to talk around the world of government price controls for dowries, and even abolishing them altogether. Depending on how you look at it, the dowry is extortion a bride has to pay to win over a husband, or it is a bride's backup for a broken marriage. AT THE SAME time, there is another kind of dowry, sometimes called a bride ifli VX0ftkz n no ClUDESJ1 (HKft j UU-fl- il5 price. It is what a man has to fork over to his future father-in-laand it is seen as either a deserved payment for rearing such a worthy bride, or as a ruinous ransom that cripples the fortunes of a fledgling family. Womens rights, divorce, equality of opportunity, national independence, new social legislation and attitudes, and the ways of modern life these liberalizing changes are believed to be the beginning of the end for dowries. The bride-pric- e dowry has been a traditional institution in Africa, where, in effect, a father may not lose a daughter, but gain a herd of goats. Or a bicycle or a load of lumber or the like.
