How to treat the reform of marriage customs in Shandong?
Marriage is a top priority for many people, so many people want to make the wedding grand, which is understandable. Especially in the woman's family, when the daughter gets married, it is natural to have a rich bride price and a high-grade banquet, so that the father's face will shine brilliantly. This idea should be eliminated with the development of the times. Although getting married is an important thing, it doesn't mean that you want to spend money lavishly. Yishui County, Shandong Province has launched a set of methods to reform marriage customs, trying to correct backward marriage customs and make marriage more modern and standardized. So what is the content of this set of marriage custom reform? Should other places follow suit? The content of the reform is actually very simple, and there are three main items. 1. The bride price given by the man to the woman's family is preferably within 10,000 yuan. 2. The wedding should not exceed ten tables. 3. It is best not to have more than six wedding cars. In addition, Yishui county also advocates that only immediate family members are invited to the wedding. Seeing these reforms, most netizens agreed. Many netizens believe that the past practice of wasting money on marriage should stop. Many families are not rich. In order to have face when getting married, not to be laughed at by others, and even borrow money to make your wedding look stylish. Many families even return to poverty because of marriage, which is really wrong. Personally, I also support the opinion of netizens that marriage is a matter for two families, as long as both families are satisfied with the wedding, there is no need to care about other people's eyes, and there is no need to borrow money to hold the wedding in order to make themselves face. However, some netizens expressed different views. They think it is too rigid to simply limit the bride price to less than 10 thousand yuan. The issue of bride price can be decided by both families, and there is no mandatory requirement. This view has some truth, but it will be the same as no supervision. In order to limit the number of bride price and save the expenses of many families, Yishui County has made such a regulation. In my opinion, this set of marriage custom reform can be extended to many places, because the content of the reform is reasonable and constructive.
