The latest bride price standard in rural areas of Jiangxi Province
Nowadays, as we all know, it is difficult to find a wife in the countryside. In many rural areas, young men in their thirties are unmarried, and some even have houses and cars, and the conditions are not bad. Many people think that it is difficult for rural boys to get married, and one of the important reasons is the bride price.

Indeed, the bride price in rural areas is surprisingly high now. In the past, the bride price standards such as "three catties and three liang" and "bride price green" are out of date in some places, because the latest standards are far higher than these. Taking the author's hometown as an example, the bride price of several hundred thousand yuan is only a "basic operation", and it is extremely rare that it is less than 6,543,800 yuan.

And to say where the bride price is the highest in rural areas, nine out of ten people may say it must be Jiangxi Province. Some media made a special investigation. In some places in Jiangxi, the bride price is generally more than 200,000 yuan, and many of them are 288,000 yuan, because this figure sounds "auspicious". As for more than 300 thousand or even higher things, they are not news in the local area and are commonplace.

Such a high bride price is obviously unreasonable and will lead to many problems. In order to effectively solve the problem of marriage in rural areas, in recent years, the relevant state departments have vigorously carried out rural customs change, focusing on cracking down on unhealthy practices in rural areas, including sky-high bride price.

To rectify the sky-high bride price, new measures have been introduced in various places. In some places, red and white councils have been set up in rural areas, stipulating that the wedding bride price, dowry ceremony and banquet standards in the village should not exceed the limited standards, such as the maximum bride price is 30,000 yuan, and the dowry ceremony should not exceed 100 yuan per person. In other places, the bride price standard is written into the village rules and regulations, and the bride price standard is clearly stipulated.

In order to overcharge the introduction fee, some rural matchmaking personnel have coaxed the woman into raising the bride price standard, which has also contributed to the wind of sky-high bride price to some extent. Therefore, the civil affairs department requires that the matchmaker be forbidden to raise the bride price standard at will, and conduct standardized education to curb the growing momentum of the bride price.

Recently, suichuan county, Jiangxi Province has taken a new measure to punish the sky-high bride price. According to the news from official website, suichuan county, a few days ago, Daijiapu Township, suichuan county invited 30 unmarried young women of school age from all villages in the township to hold a forum for unmarried young women of school age. At the symposium, the unmarried young women attending the meeting collectively signed the Commitment Letter on Resisting High-priced Bridal Gifts and Advocating Changing Customs. For this symposium, the local media commented that it is a good way to resist the high-priced bride price, and intervene in advance to ensure the effect.

However, many people are not optimistic about this practice of Daijiapu Township. Some people say, why only young women are required to write a letter of commitment and give bride price to unmarried young men, and they don't have to be invited over? Others say that this kind of commitment has no legal effect. Just finished writing and signing, it is not illegal to give a high bride price when going out, and no one can control it.

The author believes that such behavior reflects the local determination to rectify the sky-high bride price. But to say how useful it is, I'm afraid it is very limited, because it has no legal effect and can only be morally binding. Moreover, even if various means are used to suppress the bride price, will rural boys really be easy to marry?

I'm afraid not, because the fundamental reason why it is difficult for rural boys to get married at present is that there are far more men than women in rural marriageable population, and some women choose to marry in cities, while urban girls rarely marry in rural areas, thus further aggravating the situation of "more men than women" in rural areas. Even if the high-priced bride price is not allowed, the woman can make a choice through the requirements of the house and car. At that time, boys who can't get married because of the sky-high bride price will feel that they can't get married because they can't afford a house in the city.
