In Chinese society, human relationships play an important role, and the law is often difficult to fully enforce in some cases, and more often than not, it can only provide advocacy and advice.
The issue of bride price in marriage is a prime example. Although the Civil Code prohibits the collection of property in the name of a bride price, it does not explicitly prohibit the collection of a bride price, indicating that the law has reservations about traditional marriage customs. However, the actual impact of this provision is not significant, and the woman will still receive the bride price, which only provides a certain legal basis for the settlement of bride price disputes.
The introduction of this provision by the state is also a helpless move, because the amount of bride price in some areas is too high, and there is a phenomenon of fraudulent marriage, so it is necessary to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the man through legal means.
The bride price was originally a way for the man to show his sincerity to the woman, but nowadays, the amount of the bride price often becomes the focus of attention, and marriage seems to have become a material transaction. Recently, a paragraph about the bride price negotiation has been widely circulated on the Internet, triggering a wide discussion.
*, the man's father was very low-key, he introduced the local bride price customs, and expressed his willingness to raise the bride price to 180,000 yuan. However, the woman's family did not show a satisfactory attitude, and finally the two parties negotiated the amount of the bride price, which was set at 1980,000 and an additional 2 for girls80,000, a total of 2260 thousand.
However, the two sides disagreed on the money. The man's father said that he only brought 30,000 yuan for the marriage, while the woman's family was not satisfied with this amount. Despite the father's willingness to sign the agreement, the woman's family insisted that the husband should pay more than half of the bride price.
As the woman's mother left, the atmosphere was awkward. Fortunately, the woman's brother responded calmly and went to discuss with his mother in an attempt to facilitate the marriage between the two parties.
After that, it attracted widespread attention. Some netizens think that the man should meet the woman's requirements, but some people think that the bride price of more than 200,000 yuan is enough, and the woman does not need to ask for more.
From the point of view of both parties, there is nothing wrong with them, but they do not trust each other enough, so they want to compete for the initiative on the issue of bride price.
Marriage should be simple and straightforward, and both parties should let their guard down and discuss the marriage together, rather than making concessions to each other, which leads to unhappiness.
