Is it illegal to ask for 200 thousand bride price?

It is not illegal to ask for 200 thousand bride price. The bride price countries have no regulations on the amount. This is a folk custom, which is given to the woman by the man before marriage. Every region is different. As long as both parties are willing, it is not illegal.

1. Is it illegal to ask for 200,000 bride price?

It's not illegal. Different cities and regions pay different attention to the amount of bride price. Everyone's lifestyle is different, and the amount of bride price may be different. Generally speaking, everyone will give money for the bride price, but in some areas, both the bride price and the bride price money will be taken into account. Perhaps the bride price is only tens of thousands, but correspondingly, high-value items such as cars or houses will also be given away.

Second, how to ask for the return of the bride price

1. Deciding whether to return the bride price mainly depends on whether the parties have concluded a marriage relationship. If no marriage relationship is concluded after the bride price is paid, the bride price should be returned in principle; Married, in principle, do not return the bride price (except in some special circumstances); If a marriage ceremony is held according to custom but a marriage certificate is not obtained, the bride price will not be returned in principle when cohabitation is terminated.

Generally speaking, the payment of bride price is often forced by local market and social pressure. It is a general gift behavior that is completely voluntary and does not attach any conditions. Unless otherwise specified, the request to return the bride price is usually not supported.

3. If, after the bride price is paid, during the marriage relationship, the payer requests to return it to the payment, it will not be supported, because at this time, the husband and wife are still a community and follow the statutory joint property system. If the parties put forward the request at the same time as the divorce proceedings, and the court allows the divorce, it may decide whether to support the request for returning the bride price according to the situation; If divorce is not allowed, the request of the parties to return the bride price cannot be supported.

4. If the two parties have not lived together since they registered for marriage, there will be no experience of mutual assistance and living together between husband and wife, and the real living together has not yet begun.

3. Can the bride price be refunded after divorce?

1. Engagement is a folk custom, which does not mean that marriage registration is legally recognized. Therefore, the first article mostly refers to the situation that the betrothal gift was given at the time of engagement, and even the wedding ceremony was held, but the marriage certificate was not obtained from the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the betrothal gift could be returned.

2. If the party receiving the bride price does not live with the other party, the bride price will not be consumed, that is, the payer only pays and does not benefit, so it should be returned.

3. Pre-marital payment leads to difficulties for the payer, which is often difficult to judge. Due to the lack of clear and specific standards, judges often dare not easily identify life difficulties. Another reason is that people who can prove that "life is difficult due to the payment of bride price" are often relatives and other interested parties, so the probative power is usually not high.

4. If you don't get a marriage certificate in the end, you can return the bride price; If you get a marriage certificate but don't divorce or haven't decided whether you really want a divorce, you can't ask for a refund of all or part of the bride price. Even if the original family life is really difficult, it can't be returned.

Without marriage registration, both parties are not legal couples. If there is any problem, the other party can ask for a refund. The two sides can negotiate first, and as long as they can reach an agreement through negotiation, they can collect evidence and sue if they can't reach an agreement.

If both parties get married and live together, the bride price will not be refunded. The bride price itself belongs to the woman's personal property before marriage and is inseparable in the case of divorce. No amount of bride price is illegal, because it is yours.
