The May Day holiday has just passed, and I believe that many people's circle of friends have been swiped by the sweet wedding. However, behind this sweetness, there is a hidden problem that causes headaches for many families - "sky-high bride price".
First, new variants are constantly emerging
The bride price has soared from the original gold and silver jewelry, cloth and other physical objects to hundreds of thousands or millions of cash, and even large assets such as real estate and vehicles. What is even more surprising is that in order to circumvent the condemnation of the law and public opinion, some families have begun to present the bride price in a more concealed way, such as depositing cash in the bank and buying large amounts of insurance, making the bride price more difficult to regulate and contain.
Second, the sky-high bride price, whose fault is it?
Recently, the experience of Chen Jianxiong, a young man from Hunan, has attracted widespread attention. In order to marry the girl you love, you not only have to spend nearly one million bride price, but you also need to buy a wedding house of more than 100 square meters in Changsha. This made the originally sweet love instantly shrouded in the pressure of reality. Whose fault is the sky-high bride price? Is it a traditional custom, or is it the psychology of comparison in modern society?
In fact, behind the sky-high bride price, there is not only the root of gender imbalance, but also the social atmosphere. In some rural areas, the phenomenon of more men than women has led to an imbalance in the marriage market and a rise in the price of bride price. At the same time, the psychology of comparison has also made many families pursue luxury and luxury at weddings, which has further exacerbated the rising trend of bride price.
3. When will the sky-high bride price be closed?

From limiting the amount of the bride price to advocating simple weddings, a series of measures are gradually changing this social phenomenon.
However, to completely change the bad habit of sky-high bride price, we need to start from the roots. On the one hand, it is necessary to promote the popularization of the concept of gender equality and reduce the pressure on the marriage market caused by gender imbalance; On the other hand, it is necessary to strengthen the guidance of social atmosphere and advocate a simple and civilized wedding fashion.
Fourth, what does the sky-high bride price have to do with us?
You may think that the sky-high bride price is just a phenomenon in a few regions and has nothing to do with us. However, in fact, it is closely related to the lives of each of us. Whether we are young people who are about to enter the palace of marriage, or as ordinary citizens who care about social phenomena, we should pay attention to this issue and jointly contribute to changing the bad habit of sky-high bride price.
For young people, it is necessary to establish a correct view of marriage, and the bride price cannot be used as the only criterion for measuring the value of marriage. True love should be priceless, and it doesn't need to be measured in money. At the same time, we must also learn to reject the influence of comparison psychology and pursue a simple and authentic wedding experience.
For ordinary citizens, we should pay attention to the development and changes of social phenomena and actively participate in actions to promote social progress. We can start from ourselves and refuse to participate in the comparison and hype of sky-high bride price; We can also promote the correct concept and values of marriage to the people around us; We can also pay attention to the policy dynamics and governance progress of relevant departments, and contribute to changing the bad habit of sky-high bride price.
