In the past few days, a dispute over the bride price of a divorce has once again attracted widespread attention. According to the original report, Shandong guy Wei and Ma got engaged last year, and Wei gave Ma a 340,000 yuan engagement dowry. However, Ma later put forward various unreasonable conditions, and the two parties withdrew from the marriage.
The court ruled that Ma needed to return 300,000 yuan in dowry to Wei, but Ma refused to execute. Recently, Ma said that because Wei had pulled a banner downstairs in her house to demonstrate, which seriously affected her reputation, and now she wants to take back the bride price, she will never give it.
This incident once again ignited heated discussions among netizens. We can pay attention to and think about this event in a hierarchical way from the following stages:
First, the bride price of 340,000 yuan at the time of engagement is higher than the social average. This kind of high-priced bride price can bring in a mixed number of wives and test the financial affordability of young people. The society should guide engagement to reduce consumption and return to the essence of romantic love.

Second, the conditions and excuses put forward by Ma show that she did not really want marriage from the beginning, but wanted to use it for personal gain. Such radical psychological distortions should be taken seriously. Family education and public opinion should give clear guidance to put an end to the misconception that marriage is a tool for making money.
Third, after the trial, the court also gave Ma a certain amount of goodwill and did not sentence the full amount of the bride price, which is extraordinarily merciful. But Ma still did not abide by the law, arbitrarily changed his arguments, and tried to shift his fault to others. This undoubtedly shows her lack of legal awareness and moral bottom line.
Fourth, it is understandable that netizens criticized Ma. But we should not be too emotional, but should guide everyone to focus on the legal aspect. The court made a clear conclusion, and it is now important to urge Ma to implement the implementation, rather than staying at the level of personal moral scrutiny.
The core of this incident is Ma's long-term refusal to implement the court judgment in which the legal procedure takes effect, which has touched the bottom line of the principle of the rule of law. We should unite and urge law enforcement to take further action through legal channels to implement the verdict and resolve the issue with authority and durability. At the same time, it is also necessary to think about how to improve the law, protect the legitimate rights and interests of the majority, put an end to the use of marriage for personal gain, and prevent similar incidents from happening again. Only by acting according to law can society achieve long-term peace and stability.
In addition, we can also think deeply from the following aspects:
First, should a consensus be formed in the society to clearly stipulate that the marriage registration must be completed within a time limit for a high-value engagement bride price, otherwise it will not be recognized, so as to avoid abusing marriage to seek improper benefits?
Second, is it necessary to increase the period of legal protection and the standard of compensation, such as canceling the marriage contract within one year without sufficient reason, and the bride price will be refunded in full? Does this better protect legitimate rights and interests?
Third, how should the court strengthen the enforcement of judgments? After allowing a certain grace period, can the auction of the offending party's property be frozen or executed directly? This is all the more necessary to form a deterrent.
Fourth, can public opinion play a greater guiding role? Is there a need for more solidarity with those who support compliance with the law to jointly monitor violations?
Fifth, should families and schools strengthen education on marriage law and cultivate young people's correct choice of direction and attitude? Prevent similar cases from happening.
In short, this incident tells us that only by improving legislation and enforcement, and taking various measures to safeguard the fairness and integrity of the marriage system and prevent casual play with feelings, can the legitimate rights and interests of all parties in society be protected. It is hoped that through this incident, all sectors of society can trigger deep reflection and jointly promote the fundamental improvement of the problem.
