Some places have issued policies prohibiting the bride price, and some people are cheering and thinking about it, thinking that they will no longer have to spend so much money to marry a daughter-in-law in the future. This is purely his own whimsy, and the reality is: if you don't give ** bride price, someone will give it, and there will be many singles who can't marry a daughter-in-law! This policy is a non-existent policy.
Some people also say that the countryside wants the bride price, why do the urban "new women" also insist on the bride price, which we need to understand the concept of some women and their parents. They believe that the bride price is not simply a monetary transaction, but a way to show respect and recognition. However, the bride price is actually a distorted reflection of a complex set of social values. Although people aspire to return to "simple customs", it is often difficult to achieve such a wish in the face of the changed social reality.
Therefore, we must face up to reality and find new ways to solve problems. In the process of promoting the reform of bride price customs, we need to pay more attention to the needs and expectations of women and their families, and at the same time guide the society to form a healthy and equal concept of marriage and love. Only in this way can we truly realize the improvement and optimization of bride price customs and promote the progress and development of society.
* The bride price cannot disappear overnight by executive order, but it will be alleviated by the gradual elimination of gender discrimination, the growing sense of autonomy among young people, and the growing recognition of marriage as one of life's many life choices. When women's rights and interests are fully protected and the concept of marriage is more diversified, the issue of bride price will no longer be the focus of social attention.
There are also people who put forward the theory of "more monks and less meat" to prove that the bride price is the performance of "scarce is expensive", if there are tens of millions more marriageable women in China than men, you see that they still have a bride price!
