In many cultures around the world, weddings are not just a celebration of love but also a fusion of tradition, family expectations, and social customs. In Thailand, one of the most talked-about traditions is the dowry, or as it’s known locally, “Sin Sod” (สินสอด).

A Nong Bua Lamphu-native, angered by his ex-wife’s refusal to return the Bt10,000 dowry he paid to marry her, is suspected of shooting at his ex-wife’s house on Tuesday (June 23).
