As a girl, I feel I don't understand this matter. After marriage, the husband and wife themselves have to pay more. The woman should not only take care of the boys' daily life, but also carry on the family line for the boys. Moreover, in the relationship, the woman is also the humble party. If the woman is not qualified for the bride price when she gets married, then such a marriage is unfair from the beginning. First, this will greatly increase the divorce rate.
Nowadays, the divorce rate is rising every year. It is precisely because there are too many external temptations that some boys with better family circumstances like to cheat outside and betray their wives, which will lead to their marriage and make it impossible to continue. But for those boys with ordinary family conditions, they are afraid of divorce, because they are afraid of the high cost of the next divorce, so they can control their desires in marriage and be better to their wives. So I think a slightly higher bride price can make these men treat their wives better after marriage and be more cautious when they want to cheat. If the cost of marriage is suddenly reduced now, many boys will get bored in marriage and choose to divorce directly, which will greatly increase the divorce rate and be unfair to their future children. Second, the bride price is a kind of protection for the woman.
I personally think that the bride price given by the husband's family to the woman's family is actually a kind of protection for the woman, because in the marriage relationship, the woman is the one who pays more, and the man may earn more money in the family, but the woman pays more hard. The woman has to go through the reception of the boy's family in October and take care of the boy's daily life. If two people divorce, the girl's reputation will suffer a great loss.
personally, as a girl, I think that in the future marriage, two people must be fair to each other. The bride price is just a number, but it also represents the affirmation of the man's family to the woman.
