The difference between bride price and bride price: the bride price is given to the woman by the man's mother when she is engaged. At this time, the bride can put this gift in her pocket, but in order to show her respect and gratitude to her parents, the money can also be kept by her parents. Men have no right to control where the money goes. Since it is given, there is no need to care. The bride price is given by the parents of the man to the parents of the woman on a suitable day. This is a heavy commitment, and the amount of money must be quite large. In the past, 20,000 to 30,000 people were never too few to get married. Now, in some places, there are more than 100 thousand wedding gifts, which undoubtedly brings a lot of economic burden to the new family. If you exchange debts for bride price money, you might as well tell the other person the money at home openly and discuss the amount of bride price sincerely.

Second, the meaning is different.

The bride price is a red envelope that the man's mother brings to the woman when she is engaged and when the wedding date is set. Although the amount of money is small, it means a lot. This is a good start. Parents want their children to live a prosperous life and have a full house of children. Generally, giving 8 thousand or 10 thousand to give out the wedding bride price is a promise. The husband's parents promised to be kind to the bride and have enough financial resources for her to use. Even if you can't get anything at home, you can live on this bride price. That's what I mean, but it doesn't have to be like this. Now the people's living standards have improved, and there is little money at home after the bride price, but with the bride price, the children's life has a guarantee and foundation.

Legal Basis: Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on the Application of Marriage and Family Organizations (I) Article 5 The people's court shall support the request of a party to return the bride price paid according to the custom if it is found that it belongs to the following circumstances:
