In our country, marriage requires the man to give the woman a large sum of money as a bride price, so that she can be married home. This custom has continued from ancient times to the present. The amount of bride price money varies according to different regions. In some areas, the high bride price has been unbearable for ordinary families, and the amount of bride price money has been rising in recent years, from 88,000 at the beginning to108,000,128,000 or even188,000.
If you get married, giving the bride price of 200,000 yuan to the woman's family is very respectable in both urban and rural areas, which shows that your financial ability is relatively good and you can bring her a happy life after marriage. The premise is that this 200,000 yuan is earned by yourself, not borrowed from relatives and friends, and you must have a house before marriage, which is already the standard for marriage. With the catering of 6,543,800 yuan, it is already very beautiful. 654.38+ 10,000 yuan can provide a good banquet, which is similar in some high-end hotels. So you don't have to worry about disgrace at all.
I think bride price money has become a means of comparison between families. It seems that people think that whoever gives more bride price means more money, and more bride price also makes girls have more status. Actually, this statement is wrong. In fact, behind the huge bride price is a family heavily in debt. Many parents of rural families borrowed all their relatives and friends in order to collect enough money for their sons to get married, but after they got married, didn't all their debts pile on the young couple?
So I think a marriage with more bride price is not necessarily happy. Live according to your own economic ability, spend as much as you can, and should not consume the future. In my hometown, the bride price is not very high. Most women's families will treat the bride price as a dowry intact, or just express their meaning symbolically. Some families don't want their daughters to be wronged when they get married, not only don't want the bride price to be returned as more money as dowry.
Last year, my friend's sister got married like that. Both sides have good family conditions, so there is absolutely no need to compare bride price and dowry, so when she got married, her parents accompanied her daughter with a dowry of 200 thousand. It can be seen that although they married their daughter, their parents still love her enough. I think both parents want the young couple to be happier.
