Recently, a grand wedding was held in a village in a county in Zhejiang, and the bride wore a gorgeous wedding dress, beautiful makeup, and a joyful smile on her face. However, in stark contrast to the bride, the groom's whole family has a sad face and no joy at all.
The story behind this wedding is learned from the insiders who have witnessed this wedding that the original woman's family asked for a sky-high bride price of 300,000 yuan, which was too high to make the groom's family feel very difficult.
300,000 yuan is a huge amount in the local area, and it is difficult for the groom's family to come up with this money at once. Although the groom's family was not so happy in their hearts, in order not to affect the wedding process, they could only agree to it.
On the wedding day, no matter how happy the groom's family is, the smile on their faces cannot hide the worries in their hearts. Why should they be worried? It is a headache for the high bride price of 300,000 yuan.
Nowadays, high bride price has become a social problem that affects normal marriage. It is reported that some families compete for the bride price, which makes it difficult for families who are really short of money to seek compensation. The high bride price has also put a heavy burden on many families, especially some rural families, for whom the bride price of 300,000 or 500,000 yuan is already unaffordable.
According to relatives who know more about the wedding, the bride's family is also considered to have some family conditions in the local area, but asking for a bride price of 300,000 yuan seems a bit too exaggerated. "300,000 is already a very high amount for us, and it is really difficult for the groom's family. The relatives said, "They agreed to come down because they were worried about affecting the progress of the marriage." "
After learning more about the incident, we contacted the groom's family, and the groom's father told us: "When we heard the woman's family propose 300,000 yuan, we were indeed a little surprised and hesitant. But the daughters had already taken a fancy to the clothes and stretched out their hands to open their mouths, so they could only reluctantly agree. "
Now their family is preparing how to take out 300,000 bride price and transfer it to the woman's family. "It's not easy to come up with this money, you may need to sell some land, or apply for a bank loan. I only hope that after this turmoil, my daughter can live a good life in her new home. The groom's father sighed.
High bride price has become a social problem, and one party should not be blamed for wishful thinking. This is a difficult problem that requires the common thinking of the whole society. On the one hand, parents are considering too much material and material interests for their children's marriage, and lose the romantic significance of the bride price itself; on the other hand, the society should also set a model and promote romantic love marriage, in order to reshape the bride price culture. Only by fundamentally readjusting the concept can the problem of high bride price be truly resolved.
