Recently, a news about the bride price has attracted widespread attention. A couple of lovers who have been in love for 8 years broke up because of the bride price, which makes people feel sorry.
According to reports, the woman demanded that the man pay 18A bride price of 80,000 yuan, while the man said that the bride price and dowry should be brought to the new home, and the woman will also accompany a car. However, the man also admitted that his parents felt a lot of pressure and hoped that the woman would be more considerate.
Polarizing views emerged on this incident. Some people believe that it is an unreasonable traditional practice for a woman to ask for a bride price, which will not only bring a financial burden to the man's family, but also lead to the couple's breakup due to the bride price issue. Others believe that the bride price is a form of respect and compensation for the woman, as part of traditional culture, and that it is reasonable for the woman to marry a car.
I think there are multiple perspectives to think about this incident. First of all, as a traditional cultural practice, bride price has its own history and background. However, with the progress and development of society, it has become a worthwhile question whether this custom should continue to be used. The values and morals of modern society are constantly changing, should we re-examine and rethink whether this traditional practice is justified?
Second, we should respect and understand the burden on the man's family. As parents, they want their son to have a stable and happy future, but the high bride price does put financial pressure on the family. In this case, both men and women should fully communicate and negotiate to find a golden mean that can meet the woman's requirements and be affordable for the man's family.
In addition, we should also think about why the custom of bride price arises. What kind of social and cultural psychology does it reflect? How can we solve this problem? The issue of bride price is not only an economic issue, but also a cultural and social issue. We need to think about how to make marriage and family responsibilities more equal and fair for both men and women.
In summary, this bride price incident has triggered us to think about traditional cultural practices, family responsibilities and social values. We should respect everyone's choices and rights, while also promoting the values of equality, justice and mutual respect between men and women. Only in this way can we build a more harmonious, stable and prosperous society.
