With the development of social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the problem of choosing a mate among older men in rural areas has become increasingly prominent, and the amount of bride price has been rising, which has become a serious social problem. According to the survey report on the marriage of older men and young men in rural areas released by the research group of Professor Huang Zhenhua of the China Rural Research Institute of Central China Normal University, more than 4 percent of the villages have the problem of marriage of older men and young men, and the bride price even requires the purchase of real estate and cars, which has brought huge economic pressure to young people and families.
The report, which is based on a sample survey of 1,785 rural households in 26 provinces (cities, districts, districts, villages), shows that the problem of marriage between older men and young people is particularly serious in the central provinces. In some regions, the bride price has gone far beyond its original cultural significance and has become an economic transaction and competition. This phenomenon not only distorts the nature of marriage, but also increases the financial burden on young people, and even saddles some families with heavy debts.
In the face of this serious problem, it is obviously not enough to rely solely on the control of the first class. Mechanisms within rural areas also need to play a role. In some places, organizations such as the Red and White Council have been set up to curb bad practices in weddings and funerals, including exorbitant bride prices. These measures will help regulate the marriage market in rural areas, ease the pressure on older young people to marry, and keep the bride price cost under reasonable control.
However, solving the problem of the difficulty of choosing a mate for older young men still requires the joint efforts of **, society and family. **More measures should be introduced to strengthen the supervision of the rural marriage market, promote economic development in rural areas, and improve the employment and entrepreneurship capacity of older youth. At the same time, society should increase investment in rural education, improve the quality of older young people, help them master a skill, and increase opportunities for employment and entrepreneurship.
Families should also take on more responsibilities. On the one hand, parents should pay attention to the growth and education of their children, help them establish correct values and views on marriage and love, and avoid blindly pursuing material conditions such as bride price. On the other hand, families should do their best to support their children's marriage, provide the necessary financial and moral support, reduce their financial pressure, and give them more time and energy to find a suitable partner.
In addition, we should also advocate the concept of rational marriage and love, so that marriage can return to its essence. Marriage is based on mutual respect, understanding and support, not an economic transaction or competition. An excessively high bride price will not only increase the financial burden of young people, but also destroy the beauty and sanctity of marriage. Therefore, we should abandon bad habits, establish a civilized, healthy and rational concept of marriage and love, and make marriage a beautiful chapter in life.
In short, solving the problem of the difficulty of choosing a mate for older young men in rural areas requires the joint efforts of the whole society. Society, families and individuals should all play their respective roles and form a joint force to solve this problem. Let us work together to create a fairer, more just and more reasonable marriage environment for older young men in rural areas, so that they can find suitable partners, build beautiful families and share a happy life.
In this day and age, everyone has the right to pursue a happy life. Older young men in rural areas are no exception. Let us take practical actions to care for them, help them get out of the predicament, and realize their dream of marriage. I believe that with the joint efforts of the whole society, we will be able to solve this problem and let love and marriage bloom the most beautiful flowers in everyone's life.
