The topic of "the meaning of the existence of bride price" is hotly debated. Why do you think brides should receive bride price when they get married?

With the provisions of the Civil Code on the sky-high bride price and other related contents, whether the bride price should be paid and its significance have become a hot topic in society. In fact, the bride price is really an important link for girls.

1, a bride price in the traditional sense

In the traditional sense, the bride price is a wedding procedure, that is, a kind of dowry hired by two women after reaching a marriage agreement. At first, it was a gift. The woman wants to return the dowry, and the two sides can't go back on their word when they reach an agreement. It also means that the families of both men and women bless each other. With the development of economy, bride price has also become the starting capital for small families to start independent life.

2. The contradiction of bride price

Judging from the survey feedback, many boys and families with boys are not opposed to giving bride price to girls, but to sky-high bride price. In many families, the bride price is a form, and usually goes back to the small family with the girl. However, in some patriarchal families, parents take the bride price of marrying women as the starting capital for their sons' marriage, and take the opportunity to ask the man for a high-priced bride price, which leads to the breakdown of many families in the bride price stage. In fact, for a family with a correct outlook on life and an enlightened family, the bride price does have certain significance.

First of all, the bride price is a traditional etiquette, which reflects the respect and love of the man's family for the woman, and also symbolizes the man's blessing for this marriage.

Secondly, the bride price is a kind of economic security. There are really many places to spend money on the establishment of a new family, and the money is used to support each other.

Third, the bride price is a means of protection. Many women begin to prepare for pregnancy and stay at home full-time after marriage, and no income is looked down upon by their husbands and mother-in-law. This money is life-saving money for pregnant mothers. Don't ask your husband for money every day.

Finally, the bride price is a sense of security. Only when women master the source of income can they have a sense of belonging and security.

3, the mode of the new period

Because there are many cases in which the bride price finally breaks up, in fact, in order to enter the marriage harmoniously, both men and women should have a new understanding of the bride price link. The bride's family can't take the bride price as a means to collect money, and can't completely ignore the man's economic conditions. The man's parents should have a correct attitude and care for each other. Since you can't treat your daughter-in-law as a daughter, let your daughter-in-law have a sense of economic security and belonging. As a party, young people should be considerate of each other and make appropriate concessions.

In order to avoid this contradiction, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai took the lead in development? Two marriages? The new marriage mode, without dowry and dowry, seems to meet the requirements of the man, but it is actually a satire on the man's economic strength.
