On December 11, at a press conference jointly held by the Supreme People's Court, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the All-China Women's Federation, the Supreme People's Court called for the abolition of high bride prices.
Bride price, also known as financial gift, bride price, bride price, etc., is a kind of marriage ritual that has been handed down in ancient China. However, in recent years, the issue of bride price has become a social phenomenon and has attracted widespread attention. Especially in some rural areas, the high bride price has become a burden, and even some young people are discouraged from getting married.
In fact, the high bride price is not the only reason why young people do not want to get married. In modern society, with the development of economy and social progress, people's lifestyles and values are constantly changing. Many young people are more focused on freedom, independence and pursuing their dreams, and the traditional concept of marriage is gradually diluted. In addition, some young people are also facing employment pressure, financial pressure, and the accelerated pace of life, and their expectations for marriage are also decreasing.
However, the high bride price is indeed an issue that needs attention. In some areas, the bride price is as high as hundreds of thousands or even millions, which is undoubtedly a heavy burden for ordinary families. This burden not only weakens young people's willingness to marry, but also leads some families to borrow money for their children's marriages, or even fall into poverty as a result.
Therefore, the abolition of the high bride price is a necessary measure. This will not only allow young people to reduce their financial burden and better enjoy married life, but also promote harmony and stability in the family and society. At the same time, it is also in line with the values and development trends of modern society.
Of course, canceling a high bride price is not an easy task. It requires the joint efforts and cooperation of the whole society. ** Relevant policies should be introduced to regulate marriage Xi and curb bad practices. At the same time, all sectors of society should also strengthen publicity and education, so that people pay more attention to the nature and meaning of marriage.
Finally, let's take a look at the bride price rankings across the country.
In short, the abolition of the high bride price is a necessary measure to enable young people to better enjoy married life and also to promote harmony and stability in the family and society. We should work together so that marriage begins with "love" and the bride price returns to "rites".
