Is it inappropriate for parents to ask for too high a bride price? ?

1. The bride price is a tradition and a necessary ceremony in China. Of course, getting married with a bride price does not mean selling your daughter, but it is extremely inappropriate to ask for too much bride price. Young men and women get married and start a family. The man gives gifts and the woman gives dowry, which not only embodies the tradition of reciprocity, but also is a custom since ancient times. In ancient times, gift money and dowry were basically the same, even if there was not much difference. But in modern times, the price difference between bride price and dowry can be described as a world of difference. This is of course caused by the social objective reality that there are more men than women, but it is more a social deformity under the comparison mentality of impetuous money view.

As we all know, the present bride price has reached an unbearable level for the man. In order to get a wife and get a bride price that satisfies her, some men owe a lot of foreign debts in addition to all their parents' wealth. This undoubtedly puts a heavy yoke on the happy life in the future. If the woman's parents don't want to give the bride price to their daughter's son-in-law's house, then the family can only struggle, and the husband and wife will spend the rest of their lives paying off their debts.

Bride price is necessary, but it depends on the local living standard and the man's economic income. If the woman's parents blindly ask for a high bride price for her daughter's happiness and ignore the difficulties in reality, they will force the man to come up with a bride price beyond his ability. Even if the man has collected enough money, he can't help thinking so. Men who can only stoop under the pressure of high bride price will find it difficult to serve their parents-in-law sincerely in the future. The so-called son-in-law will only become a joke in men's hearts. As long as the career starts, it is good for the husband and wife to really love each other. Otherwise, the high bride price will surely become the fuse of family conflicts.

Getting married with a bride price doesn't mean selling your daughter, but in the mind of your son-in-law, if the bride price is too high, it's actually no different from selling your daughter.
