Marriage should be a beautiful moment when two people commit to each other and go through a lifetime together. However, when economic pressures and old feudal attitudes erode this beauty, marriage became extremely difficult. Recently, a man in Hubei Province was asked for a bride price of 300,000 yuan for marrying a wife, which has attracted widespread attention, but the truth behind it is even more chilling.
According to the media, the 300,000 bride price is not the most shocking place. In addition to this huge amount, there is also a series of "hidden expenses" quietly appearing on the stage of marriage. Matchmaker fees, boarding fees, and change fees have become a financial burden for newlyweds.
Some time ago, the bride price itself may have been a traditional practice and did not put undue financial pressure on the man. However, as the social climate changes, this tradition is constantly distorted and exploited. Matchmaker fees, boarding fees, change fees and other expenses have made the originally beautiful marriage a tool for economic transactions.
This social phenomenon has sparked a wide range of conversations and reflections. Why does a woman face such high financial demands in marriage? Should this unequal bride price system be changed? As a mature society, can we establish the values of equality between men and women?
Marriage is supposed to be an opportunity for two people to support each other and make progress together. However, when marriage becomes an economic transaction, this opportunity is ruthlessly denied. In modern society, we should be clear that the bride price is not the price of buying one woman, but the joy and blessing of two families.
For this Hubei man, he had to face huge financial pressure in order to marry a wife. This not only put a heavy burden on him financially, but also made him feel angry and helpless. His experience aroused the attention of the society, and everyone began to think about how to change this unreasonable concept of marriage.
