When will the bride price be given to the woman?

The bride price is generally given to the woman by the man before marriage to show his sincerity in concluding marriage with the other party. After the man gives the bride price to the woman, it is generally believed that the bride price belongs to the woman's personal property, and generally the man has no right to ask for it back. According to the relevant judicial interpretation, the people's court shall support the request of the parties to return the bride price paid according to the custom in any of the following circumstances: 1. Neither party has registered for marriage; 2. Both parties have registered marriage but have not lived together after marriage; 3. Pay the bride price before marriage, which makes life difficult for the payer. In other words, there are two ways for the man to ask the woman to return the bride price: 1. If the woman agrees to return it, she can return it herself; 2. If the woman does not agree to the return, the man can bring a lawsuit to the court, and the court will generally support it. In judicial practice, there is a lot of discretionary space for the return of bride price, which is not fully implemented in accordance with the provisions of judicial interpretation. Therefore, whether or not the bride price is returned and how much it is returned need to be analyzed in combination with the specific circumstances of the case.
