What should I do if my Thai fiancé is asking for multiple and varying amounts for sin sod before marriage?
James **********
A sinsod doesnt HAVE to be anything. It is mainly for show to the other guests. Many times you can get most of it back after the wedding. Set the terms before hand.Its up to you if you want to keep on good terms with her family.
