The phenomenon of unmarried people in rural areas began to spread, and older young men joined the ranks of the "unmarried people". Some believe that this is because the man cannot afford the high bride price, RV and other rigid requirements, which has led to the huge pressure on many rural families. The data shows that the amount of bride price is generally tens of thousands of yuan, and even reaches hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands; Housing has become a problem. The number of men left behind is increasing, and the number of unmarried men in their 30s is generally increasing. However, the inability to marry is only the superficial reason, and the imbalance in the gender ratio between men and women is the deep reason for the "non-marriage tide" in rural areas. Different from the "one-child" policy in cities, the traditional concept in rural areas has led to the phenomenon of more men and fewer women, and the sex ratio of the post-80s and post-90s births has gradually become unbalanced, which has further aggravated the dilemma of marriage and love among rural men.
The high cost of marriage, such as bride price and RV, has brought a heavy burden to many ordinary rural families. In the face of the ever-increasing threshold for marriage, men often feel pressured to toss and turn. In such a social context, more and more rural young people choose to live "unmarried", which has also become a hot topic in rural society. In the gap between traditional concepts and modern "fashionable" concepts, some people have begun to think about the nature and meaning of marriage. This question deserves our in-depth understanding.
The imbalance in the sex ratio between men and women is the deep-seated reason for the outbreak of the "non-marriage tide". Rural families are influenced by traditional concepts, and the concept of having more children and more blessings, raising children and preventing old age has led many families to have multiple children, mostly men. Some families even use ultrasound technology for gender screening, leading to the phenomenon of giving priority to boys. The imbalance between men and women born in the post-80s and post-90s is serious, which not only makes marriageable men far more than women, but also adds fuel to the fire of the "unmarried tide".
The imbalance in the birth ratio between men and women is rooted in the traditional attitudes of rural families and social policies. The family's pursuit of "more children and more blessings" and "raising children to prevent old age" has led to the phenomenon of giving priority to boys. This traditional model has led to a dramatic increase in the rural male population, in stark contrast to the scarcity of working-age women. Due to the deep-rooted patriarchal concept of family and society, many men are faced with the dilemma of not being able to find a suitable partner, which also lays a hidden danger for the "unmarried tide". In this context, it is even more difficult for men in the marriage market and have to face the cruel reality of not being able to find a desirable spouse.
In addition to the imbalance in the gender ratio, another reason for the "non-marriage wave" is the rise of "extreme feminism". The concept of feminism imported from the West has become extreme in the minds of some people, and traditional concepts such as marriage and childbirth are regarded as oppression of women. In the context of this concept, women began to demand higher material conditions such as bride price and RV as a prerequisite for marriage, and these requirements made it more difficult for rural men to meet, exacerbating the spread of "non-marriage".
The improvement of women's status has brought about certain social progress, but the rise of extreme feminist ideology has also had a negative impact on the rural marriage market. Ultrafeminists regard family and marriage as the oppression of women, and have feelings of rejection of marriage and childbearing. Fueled by this trend, many women began to throw out various conditions, such as high bride prices, luxurious wedding houses and vehicles, etc., which men could meet in order to start a family. This phenomenon has undoubtedly exacerbated the spread of the "unmarried tide", forming a deformed marriage and love status quo in which "it is difficult for men and women to choose". In this context, some rural men are helpless and confused, and in the face of the pressure of not being able to meet women's requirements, they choose to live "unmarried", which makes the "unmarried tide" more common and serious.
Behind the trend of unmarriage, it highlights the significant influence of rural family structure and traditional concepts on individual marriage and love choices. Marriage should not be a burden on life, but a vehicle for emotional sharing. The current marriage market is flooded with material considerations, which makes many people ignore the real emotional needs when pursuing marriage, resulting in an increasing phenomenon of "unmarried". In this regard, we should guide the renewal of social values, abandon the overly materialistic concept of marriage and love, and pay attention to emotional resonance and spiritual fit. ** Society should work together to alleviate the imbalance between men and women and to promote marriage balance among rural youth. It is the common responsibility and expectation of each of us to return love to purity and marriage to warmth and harmony. Total words: 1866 words.
