I think that would depend on what culture you are a part of.
There is nothing in the New Testament that says anyone must pay a dowry or have a dowry to get married. The only thing is that you should try to marry a believer, and that you should go into it knowing that this is for life - you cannot marry anyone else (unless your partner has died). It also doesn't say you should not give or receive a dowry, so if the families want to do that they can. But I think a Christian should not ask for a dowry, for example saying "I will not marry this girl unless she has a dowry." If you want to marry her, that should not have any conditions attached!
Interestingly, the relationship between Jesus Christ and His followers (the church) is compared to a bridegroom and his bride. Jesus accepted His bride (people) just as she is - we do not have to offer Him anything in order to be worthy of His love. In fact there is nothing we can offer or do which will make Jesus love us more! He already loves us as much as it is possible.
