In Morocco, especially the south, it is common to still use older measures of money like franks for prices. I lived in Marrakech and many of the people I encountered never used nor understood prices in dirhams, even though the money they are using to pay clearly has the dirham amounts on it. Most likely the price Aza’s sister gave was not in dirhams. $600 would probably not go very far towards wedding plans, especially toward a Moroccan wedding which are generally quite elaborate multi-day affairs.
