"When will the sky-high bride price be closed?"
Mr. Liu, a man, went to court to demand that his wife, Ms. Wang, return the bride price, which caused the dispute.
The bride price was 800,000 yuan, and the two divorced less than a month after the marriage, and Mr. Liu's lawyer said that they demanded the full return of the 800,000 yuan bride price.
Ms. Wang's lawyer claimed that Ms. Wang only got 200,000 yuan, and the rest of the money belonged to the matchmaking company.
What is the real value of this bride price?
And how did this marriage also work?
What was the final decision of the court?
1. Love at first sight, the man's flash marriage returned a huge amount of 800,000 yuan in dowry.
Mr. Liu's family lives in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, and works for a local state-owned enterprise, while Mr. Liu's parents are local to Nanjing, and their family is quite well-off.
It wasn't until Mr. Liu was 27 years old that his parents began to worry about their son's marriage.
But because Mr. Liu's work has always been very busy, coupled with his long-term single life, he has not thought too much about this, so his parents are not in a hurry about it.
Until Mr. Liu was 32 years old, his parents saw that their son's marriage problems had not been resolved, so they decided to find a matchmaking company for their son's marriage problems.
At that time, it was also the golden recruitment period of matchmaking companies, in order to attract more people to sign up, so they also worked publicity.
In the opinion of Mr. Liu's parents, choosing a matchmaking company is relatively worry-free, and there will be employees in the matchmaking company to match for them.
Therefore, the son's marital problems can also be easily solved.
Under such circumstances, Mr. Liu's parents set their sights on one of the most famous local matchmaking companies.
Sure enough, after Mr. Liu's parents signed up, they received a message from the matchmaking company in less than 1 week, and the matchmaking company found a suitable girl for them.
The girl was from another place, so the matchmaking company handed over the matter of the introduction to Mr. Liu's parents, hoping that they would be satisfied.
However, when Mr. Liu's parents saw the girl's information, they were not satisfied, because the other party's information showed that she was a teacher.
In the eyes of Mr. Liu's parents, the profession of teacher is still relatively hard, and under Mr. Liu's family conditions, Mr. Liu does not care whether the other party is a "white-collar worker" in marriage.
Therefore, Mr. Liu's parents asked the matchmaking company to find a suitable girl for them, and Mr. Liu's parents wanted a good girl who could stay at home.
Sure enough, in less than two weeks, the matchmaking company found a girl for Mr. Liu's parents, and this girl was also Ms. Wang from Sichuan.
Ms. Wang comes from an ordinary family, her parents are ordinary working-class people, and Ms. Wang works as a teacher at a university in Sichuan.
Therefore, in the eyes of Liu Sheng's parents, Ms. Wang is a very suitable girl, so they introduced Ms. Wang.
Like Mr. Liu's parents, Ms. Wang's parents were heartbroken about her marital problems.
After Ms. Wang graduated, her parents have been anxious about their daughter's marriage, and Ms. Wang's parents believe that as a girl, they should settle down as soon as possible.
However, Ms. Wang has a different idea from her parents, and she hopes to get to know each other better before getting married.
Therefore, Ms. Wang's parents decided to sign up for their daughter after hearing about the advertisement of the matchmaking company.
Ms. Wang's information was quickly favored by the matchmaking company, so the matchmaking company matched her with Mr. Liu's parents.
It wasn't until Mr. Liu's parents met Ms. Wang that their first impression of her was very good, and Ms. Wang was also a very generous person.
Seeing that each other's parents are also a harmonious couple, the parents of both sides are also very close to each other.
Therefore, after meeting Mr. Liu, the conversation between the two parties was also very smooth, and Mr. Liu also fell in love with Ms. Wang at first sight, and Ms. Wang was full of praise for Mr. Liu.
After saying goodbye to Mr. Liu's parents, Ms. Wang returned to Sichuan, and the parents immediately negotiated their marriage.
In the process of negotiation, the parents of both parties were also very close to each other, so when negotiating the bride price, Mr. Liu's parents were not stingy and finally agreed to 800,000 yuan.
During this period, Mr. Liu himself was also very busy, so the preparations for the wedding were also carried out by the parents of both parties.
Until the wedding is officially held, the bride price at the wedding is also 800,000 yuan, which is also carried out by the parents of both parties under the regulations of the matchmaking company.
And Mr. Liu and Ms. Wang also signed at the wedding, and since then, the two parties have officially become husband and wife.
2. Mr. Liu went to court to demand the return of 800,000 dowry.
However, less than a month after the marriage, the conflict between the two parties intensified.
In the eyes of Mr. Liu's parents, life after marriage is life, so they gave a bride price of 800,000 yuan when they got married, so there is nothing to worry about.
In the eyes of Ms. Wang's parents, they were also very satisfied with the bride price of 800,000 yuan, so under the inquiry of Mr. Liu's parents, they did not ask for the remaining bride price.
However, just after both parents left, Mr. Liu told Ms. Wang to ask for a bride price of 800,000 yuan.
Ms. Wang said that the remaining 600,000 yuan of bride price was taken away by the matchmaking company, and Mr. Liu was very angry.
After the dispute between the two was over, Mr. Liu went to the court and demanded that Ms. Wang return the bride price.
However, after conducting an investigation, the court found that after Mr. Liu's parents gave the bride price of 800,000 yuan to the marriage company, the marriage agency divided the bride price of 800,000 yuan into three, of which 200,000 yuan was also given to Ms. Wang.
After receiving the 200,000 yuan bride price, Ms. Wang also handed it over to her parents to subsidize the family.
As a result of this investigation, the court finally ruled that Ms. Wang returned 78,000 yuan to Mr. Liu.
3. A man in Jiangsu demanded that the woman return the 800,000 yuan bride price, and after going to court, he won the lawsuit, and the 800,000 yuan bride price was finally returned only 78,000 yuan.
However, the issue of the bride price of 800,000 yuan has also made Mr. Liu unable to let go, because the bride price of 800,000 yuan is not only the hard work of his parents, but also the trust between him and Ms. Wang.
But on Ms. Wang's side, she didn't feel the slightest guilt about the money, and she didn't even feel that she was at fault.
All along, their family has been very frugal, and compared with Mr. Liu's family conditions, it is also much worse.
Therefore, her parents are also for her good, so they let the matchmaking company collect the remaining 600,000 yuan.
And the matchmaking company also has the consent of her parents, so there is no problem with this problem.
Mr. Liu said that the relationship between him and Ms. Wang is gone, so he will not return to Ms. Wang.
But he will not let go of the bride price of 800,000 yuan, so he will continue to appeal.
epilogue
The bride price of 800,000 yuan has also become a marriage transaction, and this also reflects the evolution of the mainland's social and cultural concepts and marriage concepts.
Therefore, when choosing a marriage, we also need to consider it carefully.
In terms of the role of matchmaking companies, it is also highly controversial, and many people feel that the involvement of matchmaking companies in marriages is likely to lead to disputes, so supervision should also be strengthened.
In terms of law, clearer standards should also be formulated for the issue of bride price, so as to better protect the rights and interests of the parties.
Finally, marriage is the cornerstone of the family, and we should have a full understanding of each other before deciding to get married, so as not to break up the marriage because of a small thing.
At the same time, the society should also strengthen guidance on the concept of marriage, promote the formation of a rational and equal marriage relationship, and reduce the occurrence of disputes similar to bride price.
