China has been married since ancient times. When the marriage agreement was first reached, it was a custom for the man to give the bride price and dowry to the woman. This kind of bride price and dowry is commonly known as "bride price". During the period after the founding of New China, the bride price and the engagement related to the bride price were criticized and once abolished, but they have always existed among the people. More and more attention has been paid to the social contradictions caused by the bad habits of bride price, and various rectification actions have been carried out in some areas. Chapter I General Provisions Article 3 of the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China: "Arranging, buying and selling marriages and other acts that interfere with the freedom of marriage are prohibited.

Inflation is more serious now. There used to be 10 thousand yuan at home, which is already a very rich 10 thousand households. But it's different now. Ten thousand dollars, even hundreds of thousands, given by others are not really rich. Unless there is more than one million, people are considered to have some money. Nowadays, many rural betrothal gifts are given according to the focus of money. For example, the "three catties and three liang" bride price refers to three catties and three liang RMB.

1 piece 100 yuan The new version of RMB weighs about 1.15g, and110,000 yuan is 100 pieces 100 yuan, that is1/kloc. However, according to the degree of use of coins, the weight will be slightly different, and more used, older and stained banknotes will be slightly heavier than those just issued. The premise is new money. A hundred-dollar bill weighs about 1. 15g, and a ten-dollar bill weighs about 1 15g. It is found that 1435 hundred-dollar bills are needed, which is 143500 RMB.

Wedding bride price in rural areas of China has been rising all the way, especially in some poor mountainous areas, from the initial tens of thousands of yuan to more than 100,000 yuan or even 200,000 yuan. Some farmers even regard marrying women as a means to change their poor lives, which makes a large number of young people "unable to afford to marry" because of the bride price problem. The rising "sky-high bride price" in rural areas in the mainland has overwhelmed farmers, and some rural families have become poor because of the high bride price.

For the sky-high bride price, some people say that it is human nature to marry a famous woman, while others say that this is a custom and basic rule since ancient times; Some rural women's parents only pay attention to the traditional custom of bride price, but not to the traditional custom of dowry. In ancient times, dowry was far richer than bride price, and some dowry was used to support family members and even husbands to study and take concubines. In fact, the sky-high bride price has destroyed the family style, village style and folk customs far beyond imagination. Bridal gifts have become a high threshold to block love and affection, and traditional folk customs have become a bad habit to subvert public order and good customs.

Nowadays, rural marriage has become a heavy burden for villagers, which comes from two aspects, on the one hand, the expensive bride price, on the other hand, the prominent "wife shortage". With the acceleration of urbanization, the rural population is gradually concentrated in cities and towns, and girls are the last group to return to the countryside. To eradicate the bad habit of "sky-high bride price" in rural areas, farmers should focus on the long-term and do what they can to create a good wedding atmosphere. A new generation of rural youth who have gradually integrated into the development trend of the great era should take the lead in saying "no" to the sky-high bride price and restore the sanctity and tranquility that marriage and family should have.
