Is "bride price" really a barrier to prevent young people from getting married?

Yes, the increasingly expensive bride price is a big difficulty for young people to get married.

In the traditional culture of China, the bride price not only has the function of determining the marriage relationship, but also has the function of expressing the feelings of both parties. However, high bride price may turn emotional expression into material exchange, and let family and love give way to the bargaining of money interests. At the same time, the high bride price has raised the marriage threshold of some rural marriageable men to a certain extent, and may even cause some contradictions.

It is true that from the "three turns and one ring" of the older generation to the "three gold and four silver" today, it is often the case that the bride price is not properly negotiated and the drama ends, or the "transaction" is barely buried. The fuse of family conflicts.

So why does the bride price become a hurdle for the wedding? The reason lies in simply and rudely equating the happiness of marriage and family with the amount of material, which is even more suspected of objectifying women. Some families are troubled by the psychology of comparison, and even make the sky-high bride price an important reason for some families to return to poverty, and even lead to criminal and civil disputes, increasing the cost of social governance at the grassroots level and adding unstable factors.

But this just shows that the real core of marriage has been neglected, and only marriage based on love is its true meaning. This is why many people agree that marriage does not need a bride price. "It is good for two people to love each other."

Everyone should know that a couple can finally get together by mutual attraction and true love, not by the "price tag" of marriage.

I think: don't care too much about the bride price. After all, the essence of engagement is never more money than less money.

It is a beautiful goal of marriage for both husband and wife to decide to face the future life together, and it should not be allowed to affect the beautiful marriage life.
