Men who don't pay the bride price are generally divided into two types: the first type, men who can't afford the bride price. Getting married is no small matter. "Affectionate drinking water and thinking about the source" is a fantasy divorced from reality. It takes money to live and raise children after marriage. If you can't afford the bride price, how can you guarantee the quality of life after marriage? Of course, some men may indeed be "potential stocks", but this is only a small part after all. A woman's youth is only once, and she can't take a chance with her youth.
Second, a man who has the ability to pay the bride price but is unwilling to give it. Getting married means living with this man for decades to come. If the man thinks that the bride price is not important from the beginning, how can he ensure that he can always pay attention to her for decades after marriage?
If you want a happy marriage, both sides should know how to compromise with each other.
A woman can't ask a man to pay infinitely just because "I am married to you", and a man can't shirk his marital responsibility just because "marriage needs * * * to share the responsibility".
The truth of marriage is not that a woman will be happy if she marries a man who is willing to give a bride price, nor that a man will be happy if he marries a woman who doesn't want a bride price.
It is that two people know how to compromise with each other, reduce their own needs and meet each other's needs.
