In recent years, with the continuous change of social concepts, the issue of bride price has gradually become a difficult problem faced by many young people. Especially in some impoverished areas, the issue of bride price is more prominent. So, if the boyfriend's family really doesn't have money, does the bride price have to be wanted?
First, we need to understand the origin and meaning of the bride price. The bride price was originally a gift for the man to show respect and gratitude to the woman, and it was also the recognition and blessing of the marriage by the families of both parties. However, with the evolution of society, the bride price has gradually evolved into an economic transaction, and even become a tool for some people to compare, which has deviated from the original intention of the bride price.
For some impoverished areas, the issue of bride price is even more prominent. Due to the limited economic conditions, some men's families have to borrow money or even sell houses and land in order to raise the bride price, which undoubtedly brings a heavy financial burden to the man's family. At the same time, the excessively high bride price is also easy to make some women feel insecure in marriage, and even cause some men to choose to give up their marriage because they cannot afford the bride price.
So, if the boyfriend's family really doesn't have money, does the bride price have to be wanted?Actually, this is not a simple question. First of all, the amount of the bride price should be determined according to the actual situation and cultural Xi of both families. In some areas, the bride price may be lower, while in some cities it may be higher. However, in any case, the bride price should not be a burden on the man's family.
Second, if the man's family does not have enough financial means to pay the bride price, then the woman's family can consider reducing the bride price or using other ways to express their blessings and support for the marriage. For example, the bride price may be replaced by the woman's family providing some dowry or helping the man's family to solve some practical problems. Doing so can not only reduce the burden on the man's family, but also make the marriage more pure and beautiful.
Finally, we also need to recognize that the bride price is not the most important factor in marriage. What is more important in a marriage is that both parties love and support each other. If both men and women truly love each other and are able to support each other and work together, then the issue of bride price can be properly resolved through negotiation between the two parties.
To sum up, if the boyfriend's family really has no money, the bride price does not necessarily have to be. The woman's family may determine the amount of the bride price according to the actual situation and cultural Xi, or use other means to express blessings and support for the marriage. The most important thing is that both parties love and support each other. As long as the families can understand, respect and support each other, they will be able to overcome difficulties and create a better future together.
