The cost of raising children is gradually increasing, and people feel this trend and are more sensitive to this increase, which will lead to an increase in bride price in the marriage market. In addition to the economic cost, the time cost and effort of raising children are also increasing, but the happiness brought by raising children is declining. It is a helpless choice to enjoy family life by raising children. With this psychological change, it is inevitable to ask for a high bride price.
Underdeveloped rural areas are more prominent, and some villagers are overwhelmed. When getting married in rural areas, the husband's family needs to give a certain dowry to the woman's family. This is a cultural tradition for thousands of years, and almost all areas have such folk customs. However, in recent years, the bride price has generally soared, especially in underdeveloped rural areas. The phenomenon is serious and the amount of bride price has increased year by year. Since the beginning of the new century, bride price has risen sharply, which is widespread everywhere. From the perspective of individual villagers and their families, the wedding bride price has risen rapidly in just a few years. I have to say that this has a lot to do with comparing with each other. Some families or regions have good economic conditions, spend more money when they get married, and pay a high bride price, which increases their face. Some families with similar economic conditions have followed suit and gradually formed unwritten habits over time.
Wedding bride price should be done according to one's ability, and don't blindly compare with others. Some rural families initially refused this sky-high bride price, but due to the situation, external environment and other factors, they had to succumb to this atmosphere.
