But the problem is that the custom of bride price existed in ancient China, when the man would give the woman a gift, representing joy and blessings, and also expressing the man's sincerity to the woman and the beautiful expectations for the future married life.

Why is it that with the change of the times, the bride price has become more and more expensive, and it is no longer the simple blessing and heart of the original, but has changed a little? Is there any hidden meaning behind this case and this divorce dispute?

paid a high price for the bride price, but there is no husband and wife?

At the beginning of 2020, the "resentful couple" met through a matchmaker's introduction, and soon confirmed their relationship. The two discussed and got married at the beginning of the second year. According to the intention of the families of both parties, the man has to give the woman 500,000 yuan as a bride price.

Although the man didn't earn much from his work and didn't have much savings at home, he thought that he was in his thirties, so he still managed to scrape together the money to give the woman as a bride price.

But the life after marriage is not as good as they thought, and for various reasons, they have never been able to become a "real couple". The woman felt that this marriage could not last, so she filed for divorce in July 2022.

The man has no opinion on the divorce, but he feels that he and the woman are married, but they are not living together because of various conflicts, and the bride price should be returned in this case. He went to the court to sue his ex-wife and asked her to return the 500,000 dowry.

However, the woman said in court that she agreed to the divorce, but did not agree to pay back the money, because she had been living with the man, and there was a chat record between the two to prove it.

The woman took out the record of buying things again, saying that those things were sent to the couple's previous home, so the man's request for a refund of the bride price was unreasonable, and the court should not support it.

Both parties insisted on their own words, and they both felt justified, and the court found that the man and the woman had filed a divorce lawsuit because of emotional discord. Now, both of them have agreed to divorce, which shows that the relationship is indeed irretrievable.

In considering the issue of bride price raised by the husband, the court weighed it in depth. Although the two have registered their marriage and have lived together, their marriage has not lasted long, and they have not lived a real "husband and wife life".

Therefore, the court finally ruled that the parties could dissolve the marriage relationship and ruled that the woman should return the man's bride price totaling 320,000 yuan.

But who would have thought that after this dispute was reported, netizens blew up. Someone sarcastically ridiculed the woman This is the "white wolf with empty gloves", she has earned 180,000 yuan after a year and a half of marriage, how can it be considered blood earnings!

But there are also people who can't figure it out, both men and women are considered to be "flesh and blood" age, even if there is no love between each other, they are still legal husband and wife, but after a year and a half of marriage, they don't even have the reality of husband and wife, is it possible that someone has a problem?

Bride price disputes are frequent, and netizens continue to controversy

In recent years, the price of bride price has become more and more expensive, and many couples have quarreled and broken up because of the bride price money.

A survey conducted by China Youth Daily found that 65.3% of people had couples who had conflicts over the bride price, and 19.1% also said that this situation was very common.

Since ancient times, there has been a set of cumbersome six ceremonies for marriage, but the times are different, and the bride price has also changed, but now the bride price seems to have become a burden. Everyone said that the bride price was too high, and getting married, which was originally a happy thing, became more and more difficult to do.

Sometimes, because of the bride price, there will be disputes between families, and even go to court. The wedding, which was supposed to be full of laughter, became more and more heavy, and many young people also had a "fear of marriage" because of this.

There is also a big difference of opinion between men and women on the issue of bride price. Many girls feel that after getting married, they have to take care of their families and have children, so that they will make less money and their health may deteriorate, so the bride price is like compensation given in advance.

What's more, the girls will also prepare a dowry, which will be used together with the bride price to live a newlywed life, just like the "start-up capital" of the new family, how can it be regarded as taking advantage?

But the boys don't think so. They felt that if the bride price was a guarantee for girls, what about boys?

Even if the bride price and dowry are used to live a newlywed life in the end, the bride price is given to the girl before marriage, which makes the boy always feel unsure.

While shouting for equality between men and women, and at the same time asking for a bride price, this made it very difficult for the boys. They may have to spend all the money for the bride price, so should they get married or sell their daughter?

There are also some places that think that the high status of women in the family is indicated by the high status of the bride price, but this is actually a wrong idea. The amount of bride price does not indicate how important a woman is in a relationship, or how much a man values her.

But real care and attention is not measured in money. Everyone's family's economic situation is different, and when a girl chooses a partner, she should consider the boy's personality, ability, and future development, rather than just looking at how much the bride price gives.

The Supreme Court made a move

In fact, in recent years, the issue of bride price disputes has frequently caused controversy, and the state has long been concerned about it, and the Supreme People's Court has taken action to clarify the provisions on "whether the bride price needs to be returned after divorce".

The new regulations make it clear that if someone asks for money or something in the name of marriage, it is a wrong act. If someone does this, and then the other party wants to get the money and stuff back, the court will help support them.

When settling a bride price dispute, the court will also consider the reason for the bride price, local customs, the time and manner of the bride price, the value of the bride price, and the circumstances of both the bride price and the bride price, so as to clarify what constitutes a bride price.

At the same time, the new rules also clarify what does not count as a bride price. For example, small gifts or red envelopes given on special occasions such as holidays and birthdays, as well as daily expenses to enhance mutual affection, are not considered bride price.

On the issue of the return of the bride price, the new regulations also make more detailed provisions. If two people have already obtained a marriage license and have lived together for a long time, the court will generally not support the request for the return of the bride price at the time of divorce.

If two people have only lived together for a long time, but the bride price is very large, then the court will carefully check how the bride price was spent, what the dowry was, how much the bride price was given, how they lived together, whether the two parties had done anything wrong, and so on.

The court will also look at local customs and decide whether and how much the bride price should be refunded.

For those who have not obtained a marriage license but are already living together, if one party requests the return of the bride price, the court will also determine the amount of the bride price according to the similar circumstances mentioned above.

Therefore, in the case of a year and a half of marriage but no husband and wife, because the man and woman lived together and the woman had a record of purchasing things and sending them to their homes, the judge ruled that the woman should return the bride price of 320,000 yuan instead of the whole price.

epilogue

Whether it is a contradiction between the two or something else that is difficult to say, since the husband and wife have decided to enter the palace of marriage, they must be aware of the meaning of marriage and the responsibilities it brings.

Whether a happy marriage is not based on how much the bride price is given, the most important thing is the sincere care of the family, everyone has to take on the responsibility of the family, communicate more, communicate more, these are the keys to making the family happy.
