Return the Bride Price

Mona Lee died during childbirth. Her husband, Julian, sued her in-laws, demanding a refund of the 80,000 RMB Bride Price and The Three Golds. Julian was only concerned with compensation and inheritance as his wife lay dying. Her parents countersued for their 100,000 RMB dowry. The court ordered a 10% return of the Bride Price. The dowry was treated as inheritance, with parents receiving a larger share. The law delivers justice, but cannot soothe the pain of losing a daughter.
