Sin Sod when parents have passed away

[Chriso12]

After 6 years of relationship I will take my girl as my wife. That marriage visa simply is the only option for me.

The parents of her have passed away before I even knew her...and her family has so far not approached me with regards of making any payment. Is it normal to pay the family a dowry when the parents don´t live anymore?

Why do you want to give money away...?

I dont like the sin sod as well...that is why I am asking on whether there is any need for it.

You are in control, if you even MENTION sin sod and the extended family hear it, you will get stuffed.

[inzman]

I can't see how the family could claim sinsod. Sinsod is essentially paying the parents for raising the child. Although I detest the notion of paying sinsod. I was not asked when I married my wife, she agrees its outdated and not relevant .

[Chriso12]

Very nice! Thanks for the input!

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

No sin sod is required. If your wife to be doesn't yet have a car buy her one. If you can't afford a car, buy her a new motorbike. Sin sod is all about face. Give her some. You can even buy her a big gold chain and then sell it back to the goldsmith after the wedding. Give her something to show.

May your marriage be a long and happy one!

note: you can drive the motorbike or car you bought for her after the wedding. :-)

After 6 years together you would know if she expects sinsod.

Thousands of falangs give away billions of baht every year. Look how many threads are started here and how many posters defend the paying of sinsod.

How many clowns do you know that pay sinsod for their wife who has previously been married or has children?

[shirtless]

You should make the sin sot amount say 1 million baht , so your wife can have big face at the wedding while you have small wallet syndrome .

I highly doubt that she expects it...but I thought that this is not her decision but rather the decision of the family.

I can immediately think of six............

... seven if you count the one where the children didn't come out of the woodwork until months after the wedding

Aint that the truth, some old "aunty" or sister who took the poor wretch in and raised her as if she was her own.

Strange how these kids are nowhere to be seen until after the wedding and family home has been built.

Love me love my dog.

I know a guy who walked out the door and now lives on his own in Pattaya.

He inherited a worthless daughter in law who moved in complete with waste of space boyfriend and their child.

Instead of only having himself and mrs to support he was now expected to play happy extended family.

Luckily he was only taken for wedding and divorce costs, the dozy cow should have waited for the farang mansion to be built before moving the others in.

No, just seen and witnessed a lot..........

More bad stuff than good........... ...................Food for thought chap.........

[slipperylobster]

You can pay me sin sod and take my wife.....

I appreciate all the warnings. Most horror stories begin with the day you marry a thai girl! See you in a couple of years when I open a divorce sob thread!

Forget the village wedding completely.

It's a worthless party for poor rural people you don't know and she doesn't like.

Amphur Office, real wedding, and only 30bht.

If you want to push the boat out, 500bht new dress for her, 500bht dinner after.

(No rings, no gifts)

[Chriso12]

I don´t think that she has family in the rural area. Its strange that people automatically assume that every Thai bride has to be a "poor Isaan village girl".

Dodging the ceremony sounds unlikely thou...I will rent some place in Bangkok I suppose. I would grant any western girl a wedding ceremony...so why wouldn't I do that with my Thai girl? I don´t enjoy these occasions very much myself....but gotta sit it out.

The only condition I have is that I am not gonna wear one of those traditional Thai costumes. I wear a suit and thats it!

While we are at it: Does it matter at which Amphur we make the registration?

You are so right, OP.

But what do you expect from old farts?

My advice..........doesn't matter if they ask for sin sod or not.

You give, and you give generously, at least 2 to 3 million.

Build a house, buy a car and get some cows, so her status in community will stand high.

Don't be a cheap Charlie and never believe these dubious posters that have some experience in life.

Recently went to a village wedding and the Thai groom gave his previously married wife both cash and gold. It sometimes does happen.
