Why is the bride price so high and how to solve this problem?

You must know that in this world, everything is rare and valuable, and the reason why high-priced betrothal gifts appear in Chinese society has a lot to do with the entire society, such as the ratio of men to women. Imbalance plays a big factor, and girls will become delicate when they are young! This is based on the social principle of "rare things are valuable", and no one can change it.

With the existence of sky-high betrothal gifts in Chinese society, we should not just unilaterally think that the ideological consciousness of rural people is low, but that the marriage market determines the betrothal gifts. Sometimes, we complain about the sky-high price of wedding gifts and shout about limiting the price of wedding gifts, but in the end we are still unable to change this phenomenon, and the regulations that limit the sky-high price of wedding gifts are just a decoration.

Some officials once said that people's concept of sky-high betrothal gifts must be corrected so that rural boys can no longer worry about the betrothal gifts when marrying. Seeing this, I just smiled. Even if you limit the bride price, can a bachelor in rural China get a wife? There is a pattern in everything, and the existence of such sky-high betrothal gifts in Chinese society today is caused by the imbalance in the ratio of men to women and changes in social values. It cannot be changed by one rule or another!

Banning extravagant events and limiting sky-high prices for betrothal gifts are all ways of establishing social civilization. However, we need to know the fact that Chinese society is currently enveloped in decay and corruption. Today, if you limit sky-high prices for betrothal gifts, some people think The sky-high price of betrothal gifts in rural areas will be brought under control. In fact, it will only increase the cost and increase the incentives. The reason is very simple, because the current society has reached the point where I will not marry if you cannot afford the betrothal gift. The existence of this bad habit is frozen. If it doesn’t happen overnight, there will be more men who can’t afford wives tomorrow! We all know that sky-high betrothal gifts are a bad social habit, but few people pay attention to its formation. When sky-high betrothal gifts first appeared, they were not controlled. But now that they have become widespread, it is obviously too late to control them.

As for the local government’s control of sky-high betrothal gifts, the intention is good and the purpose is very clear, so that rural men no longer have to worry about sky-high betrothal gifts. However, the real problem is that you have more men than women. , women have a clear advantage in the marriage market, and they will naturally use this advantage to find a supporter who can provide them with adequate food and clothing. Some people say that these women are too realistic and do not understand love, but the fact is that most love in the secular world involves dressing up and eating. Therefore, when the government intervenes to limit the betrothal gift, I am afraid that all the aunts will no longer marry, and there will only be more men who cannot marry a wife. If you don’t believe it, just wait and see. As for the betrothal gift exceeding 20,000 yuan, it will be punished as a crime of trafficking in women or fraud, then It's just an official statement, but it won't work among the people. In the end, it can only become a joke!

To rectify the sky-high price of wedding gifts in rural areas, in fact, it is nothing more than to achieve these points, so that the ratio of men to women is equal, the woman's advantage will no longer exist, then this kind of sky-high price of wedding gifts will naturally die out. Improve people's lives and no longer be burdened by houses, cars, and education. When everyone's life is relatively equal, the phenomenon of marrying for betrothal gifts will also decrease.

So, the existence of sky-high betrothal gifts in rural areas is determined by the market. If the government wants to change this bad habit, it should not only limit the betrothal gifts, but also use practical actions to improve various realities in society
