Unless i have taken the situation wrong, the future mom-in-law is not asking her son-in-law to contribute extra. I don't think it is for us to say if $ 15,000 to 外家 is too much or little.

(What about if his wife is going to stay home after they are married or his wife likes to do volunteer work?)
I just feel that the husband is kinda over-reacted that he would rather not getting married when he realizes his wife turns out to have no income and does not bring home money.
