The supplemental .zip archive includes a sample dataset and codes for the publication 'Between Money and Intimacy: Brideprice, Marriage, and Women's Position in Contemporary China.' The brideprice dataset used in this paper was collected from two public websites: China Judgments Online and PKUlaw. China Judgments Online (https://wenshu.court.gov.cn/) is an official website run by China's Supreme People's Court, free and open to the public. PKUlaw (or ChinaLawInfo, www.pkulaw.com) is a comprehensive legal database run by the Peking University Center for Legal Information; a subscription may be needed to access legal case details.

The data collection project was reviewed and approved by the Homewood Institutional Review Board (HIRB) at Johns Hopkins University (Approval Number: HIRB00009958). HIRB approved a restricted data license, which allows the sharing of statistical analyses but prohibits the distribution of the original data to de-identify individuals. A small sample dataset, containing 1,000 random cases, is shared through 'sampled_dataset.csv.' Required software versions include Python 3.10.12, Stata 17.0, and Jupyter Lab 3.6.3. Earlier versions may not be compatible.
