Recently, a controversy over bride price has caused heated discussions on the Internet. One girl said in an interview that although she supports equality between men and women, she believes that women are at a disadvantage in marriage and therefore opposes the abolition of the bride price. The remarks sparked widespread controversy, addressing issues such as money, personal freedom, and gender equality.

As a traditional marriage custom, bride price has given rise to a lot of thought in today's society. From the point of view of individual freedom, everyone should have the right to choose their own way of marriage. However, whether the bride price should exist or not has sparked a contest over money and dignity.

On the one hand, the bride price is seen as a blessing for a new life and a commitment to marriage. However, with the development of society, the concept of bride price has gradually evolved, and some families have excessively pursued the amount and value of bride price, which has led to the rising cost of marriage and caused huge economic pressure on ordinary families.

On the other hand, the issue of bride price also involves discussions on gender equality and family responsibilities. Traditionally, men have been responsible for the financial responsibility of the family, while women have been responsible for the care of the family and the upbringing of children. However, with the changes in society, more and more women are entering the workforce, and they should also enjoy equal rights and status with men.

In addition, marriage should not be bound by money, but should be based on mutual respect and trust. The existence or absence of a bride price should not be the only measure of the value of a marriage. Only on the basis of mutual understanding and support can a happy married life be established.

I agree more with this netizen's statement that the bride price or dowry should serve the newlyweds to build a small family, which is the essence of the bride price:
"There is no opinion that the bride price is the start-up capital of a small family, and it should go to the woman's parents or become the woman's personal property, which is highly controversial."

The bride price controversy reflects the diversity and change of social values. Whether we are for or against the bride price, we should keep an open mind, listen to different voices, and respect everyone's choice. Only in this way can we work together to create a more equal and inclusive social environment.
I believe that as long as we have love in our hearts, the bride price is no longer an obstacle to love, but a part of our common pursuit of happiness.
