It was more for the woman to not sleep around or sell her virginity.

Back in ye olden times, you would pay a bride price to the parents of the bride, both symbolizing the eternal debt you owed to your wife and as a way to show you had plenty of money to spare to take care of your wife. You would then give your wife a dower, sonething they could hold onto in case you lost all your money or she became suddenly widowed. This historically was property but became rings or jewelry with expensive stones. The wife would take the dower as a sign she would no longer need to worry, and in exchange be a maiden on her wedding night. These practices were only for the wealthy, until indistrialization brought the practice to a growing middle class. Then, in the early to mid 1900s, marketing campaigns began associating the price of a ring to the love you felt for your wife, leading us to today.

Depends on what the guy and the cinema agree upon to make this go away. Usually the lawyers will take 30-40% of a settlement.

None, these types of cases barely ever go to trial, they will end with a settlement of which the lawyers will take a portion as compensation.

People want to live next to people, and in specific areas. You can buy a nice house in bumfuck nowhere for cheap, or you can get an apartment in Austin for much more.
