The dowry means that the bride's family should give some money, jewels or a car, bike... to the groom's family. They can give useful things like a cupboard, bed...etc or they can provide a land or house;
but the groom's family can stop the wedding if they don't get the dowry. Sometimes, the groom's family doesn't ask for the dowry but if the bride's family is very rich, they give the dowry; if the family is not very rich they give just a necklace or something else.
After the marriage, the couple can build a house if they have had a land as dowry, otherwise they can use the things they have received as a dowry.
They can do whatever they whant with those they have received as a dowry, but generelly the bride keeps it in memory of her family!
