I've had a few family members marry in Cambodia, but I've recently been told that it's customary for the groom's family to give 50% or 100% of the agreed dowry after the families discuss engagement/proposal. However, I've also been told that the agreed amounts usually don't get given until the day of the wedding. Is this some new 'tradition' that's started recently amongst Cambodian people?
