Before most men in China begin charting the dollars and cents of their marriage, they must first navigate the potentially costly affair of a “bride price”, offered to the family of their prospective brides.

That bill for one man in eastern Chinese province Zhejiang amounted to 9.98mil yuan (RM6.47mil) in cash, as well as gold bars and luxury watches he dispatched on Tuesday in an armoured truck to the home of his bride-to-be.
