Bride price, this ancient and solemn tradition, is like a bright pearl, shining in the galaxy of Chinese civilization. It is not only a bond between the two families, but also a testimony to the happy life of the newlyweds.
The bride price is also like a well-painted picture scroll, showing the profound cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. It is not only a material gift, but also a spiritual sustenance. In the transmission of the bride price, people convey the blessing of marriage, the expectation of the future, and the yearning for a better life. However, with the development of society, the bride price has become a small problem.
Recently, a video about a man generously giving a bride price of up to 340,000 yuan to the woman after a blind date, but the woman was coldly and violently forced to withdraw from the marriage, which caused an uproar on the Internet. Mr. Wei from Juye County, Heze City, Shandong Province, tied the knot with Ms. Ma from Yuncheng County in March 2023, and in accordance with local customs and the woman's request, he generously paid a bride price of 340,000 yuan. However, unexpectedly, after the bride price was delivered, Ms. Ma's attitude changed dramatically.
Mr. Wei painfully recalled: "I thought that our relationship would be deeper because of this, but unexpectedly, the woman began to use cold violence frequently, and even verbally abused me. She not only asked me to buy a car worth more than 200,000 yuan in full, but also forced me to withdraw from the marriage for various reasons. In the face of such a sudden change, Mr. Wei felt helpless and confused.
In the subsequent communication, Ms. Ma completely blacked out Mr. Wei's contact information, which put him in a desperate situation. In desperation, Mr. Wei had no choice but to seek legal means to protect his rights and interests. After mediation by the court, the woman finally agreed to return the gold jewellery and return the bride price of 300,000 yuan in installments. Mr. Wei showed the reporter the civil mediation letter issued by the Intermediate People's Court of Heze City, Shandong Province, which was dated April 12, 2024. The mediation document records in detail the entire incident and the outcome of the court's mediation.
However, on the very first day of May, Mr. Wei did not receive the first bride price that Ms. Ma promised to return as scheduled, which was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. Faced with this unexpected situation, Mr. Wei had no choice but to use the power of social platforms to make the matter public.
As soon as this matter was exposed, it attracted wide attention from the media. Ms. Ma, who faced the camera, once said frankly: "He has not taken the initiative to contact me so far, how can I send the money to his house without authorization?" Regarding the gold jewellery mentioned in the mediation agreement, Ms Ma explained: "There are only two pieces left, one was accidentally lost during a trip, and then two were missing, and I don't know the exact reason." ”
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is mid-May, and the matter finally ushered in a new turn. According to a reporter from CCTV's "News+", Ma Moumou has been judicially detained, which is undoubtedly a powerful response to this incident. This incident not only triggered a deep reflection on the issue of integrity, but also showed us the firm position of the law on upholding fairness and justice.
