It actually depends on the city.In the east side of Turkey and in some villages father of the bride demands an amount of money , 'land' (property) or jewelery(or gold) from the groom(it's like they sell their daughter).But in the west side of Turkey there is no such a tradition at least not in Istanbul. I'm living in Istanbul now and i have been to a lot of European countries so i can honestly say that Istanbul (and some big cities like Izmir,Ankara etc.) is as civilized as other european cities that's why you can't see any old traditions in there.
