Betrothals in Bulgaria and the toll of betrothal prices
Thomas Stevens describes Bulgarian peasant betrothals where a bride arrives to marriage only after the price demanded by the father is paid. If funds fall short, families may bargain for partial payment and time to settle, while the cruel parent may demand full payment before consent.
