Chapter 640 High-value bride price (seeking subscription)

At the same time, on [Douyin], there are also news that many newborn mothers who were pregnant last year and gave birth recently have applied for an interest-free housing loan of [-] yuan and been approved.

These situations are not isolated cases, but there are many people who share through [Douyin], [Moments], [Weibo] and get these real money.

Immediately, the whole people boiled up, and more people were talking about marriage.

Many girls, in fact, are not so realistic.

It's just that the social pressure is too great, which makes them feel insecure about the future, so that there are constant quarrels between lovers.

If you miss it, it will be a lifetime thing.

And the [New Vision Fund] created by [Chaoqun Group] gave them the courage to go forward hand in hand.

No matter how bad it is, at least it has the blessing of [Superior Group].

It may not be possible to get rich, but after the child is born, he can give it a shelter from the wind and rain.

Therefore, since this period of time, the number of couples receiving certificates has increased significantly.

The media is a bunch of guys who play with the wind.

Seeing the change in the direction of the wind in society, sweet love is blowing again immediately.

In today's society, one of the obstacles to love and marriage is the high bride price.

The official statement said that high-value betrothal gifts should be rectified.

Even Wu Siyuan, the well-deserved richest man in the world, did not come out at the press conference, but it is rare to come out to talk at this time, attacking the high-value bride price, saying that this is not marrying a daughter, but selling a daughter, whether it is because of vanity—for example, neighbors I received 28.8 betrothal gifts for marrying my daughter, so my family’s marriage daughter can’t be less than him, and the 28.8 betrothal gifts can’t be less. At the same time, the man is required to have a house and a car and add his name—or to squeeze the daughter, use the daughter’s betrothal gift on the son , and then casually sent two or three quilts as a dowry.

Wu Siyuan said that such behavior does not make people feel good, but makes people feel ashamed. Those who treat their daughters as commodities and squeeze their daughters to help their sons from poverty will not only harm their daughters' happiness, but also their sons, making it difficult to enjoy their old age. Instead, life is a mess.

The reason why the officials and Wu Siyuan made such a sound and bombarded the high-priced betrothal gifts is because they all deeply realized that high-priced betrothal gifts have become an important factor affecting social stability, and it has also affected the marriage rate.

In the current domestic gender and social relations, if the marriage rate is low, the number of newborns will naturally be low.

This is, of course, what the authorities are trying to avoid.

Wu Siyuan also knows that if the situation of high-priced betrothal gifts is not cracked down on, then the [Vision] of his [New Vision Fund] may only be the [Vision]!
After investing so much money in it, only one sound could be seen in the end.

This was a step he didn't want to see.

It is a pity that many couples have come to the stage of dowry, and finally failed. It is a pity that this exorbitant dowry has become the biggest obstacle for many people's love to blossom and bear fruit, and it will also have an impact on society, family, and marriage.

High-priced betrothal gifts will also cause many harms. For example, it will lead to a deterioration of the social atmosphere, poor male families will return to poverty, and conflicts between husband and wife after marriage.

The change in the social atmosphere is due to the high betrothal gifts in one place, many of which are caused by mutual comparisons.When a family's dowry money is higher than the local average, others will increase the dowry money accordingly.And when the price of the gift is getting higher and higher, the gift loses its original meaning and becomes a tool for comparing and fighting for wealth, which hurts both the recipients of the gift and the overall social atmosphere.

In this area, Yuzhang is famous all over the country because of the high bride price.

There is even a folk proverb that the betrothal gifts in Yuzhang are the best in the world, the beauties in Pingle are the best in Jiangxi, and the betrothal gifts in Pingle are the best in Jiangxi.

The bride price in some places here is 10 in high school and 20 in college. In the past two years, it has started at 30, and it is expected to rise to 38.8 this year, because Yuzhang people value auspicious numbers.

Gifts are only part of it.

In some places here, the requirements for the man are: 30 dowry + house + car, so if the man wants to get married, he can't do without 100 million.

But now this society is said to have entered a well-off society, but how many families can really come up with a net worth of 100 million at once?

Most families can't afford it.

Then if the local social customs are like this, then in order to marry a daughter-in-law for the child, you can only borrow, borrow from relatives and friends, borrow from banking institutions, or even more exaggerated, borrow from usury.

The money was taken by the mother-in-law.

But the debt is left to the new family.

A lot of money is spent on fixed asset investment (houses, cars, household appliances) before marriage, and the remaining cash is relatively reduced.Poor and lowly couples mourn everything, and in daily life, they also need a lot of cash flow.

If the cash flow is barely enough to live on, and you have to pay off your debts, then this life will be difficult.

When newlyweds are unable to come up with cash in an emergency, the weak couple's relationship will be put to the test.This is one of the reasons why the divorce rate is getting higher and higher.

In 2021, 764.3 million couples will be registered according to law throughout the year, with a marriage rate of 5.4‰, and 283.9 million couples will be divorced according to law.

In addition, high betrothal gifts lead to an increase in the number of people who lose their time in marriage, and also lead to various abnormal marriages: fraudulent marriages, exchange marriages, etc.

Even fraudulent marriage has developed into a business.

Human traffickers use women to cheat older men in remote areas into marriages, asking for gifts ranging from tens of thousands to more than [-] yuan in the name of engagement purchases such as jewelry, clothes, and mobile phones. After marriage, the women separate for various reasons and flee with the money.

And some women who are enlightened use their marital affairs as a bargaining chip, choose a target, ask for a high-value gift, and after they get married, they go out of their way to find an excuse to divorce.After divorce, the bride price will naturally not be returned.

Many of these betrothal gifts are the savings of the man's family for many years, and even the man's family is in debt for this, and they are taken away by the woman just like this. This is not something that families can easily bear.

After the man's request was fruitless, he would sometimes engage in some extreme behaviors, which would develop into vicious cases and seriously affect social security.

Many years ago, there was a tragedy in which his wife's family was wiped out because of a high-priced bride price.

The man's family was poor, and he pooled 12 yuan to the woman as a bride price in order to get married.

Who knows that after marriage, the woman thinks she is beautiful, does not live with peace of mind, and has more and more conflicts with the man.

Finally, it came to the point of divorce.

The man thought it was okay to leave, but asked the woman to return the 12 bride price.

The woman refused.

Then something else happened.

In a fit of anger, the man killed the woman's family, including a young child.

Although the man was also caught and arrested in the end, the bitter fruit has already been brewed.
