Reply To: Does a Kallah need to give a gift to her Chosson in the yichud room?

If you don’t give her a gift, then when her friends ask her what she got she’ll feel bad, so you have to give her something. If she gives you something also, then her friends will think that she had to give you something in order to get what you gave her. And if she doesn’t invite those friends, she’ll have no one to talk to about the gifts she got in Yichud. You’re better off eloping.
