Is the price of 20 thousand bride price sky-high

Reading Library 20 18-6-24 08: 18 Speaking of bride price, it is really an eternal topic. This used to be a good traditional custom with a history of 5000 years, but these years it has become a heart disease of "the man is sad and the woman is sad". From time to time, I can see such news that the million-dollar bride price makes men call "can't afford to marry". How to treat the sky-high bride price? Hui 'an Sub-district Office, lankao county City, Henan Province, gives a plan! Article 1 of their standards stipulates that the bride price shall not exceed 20,000, and those who ask for the bride price "if the circumstances are serious" shall be punished as human trafficking or fraud. 20 thousand bride price is the upper limit How many traffickers are there in China? ! 0 1 This sky-high bride price has always been criticized. In 20 13, a "national bride price map" spread all over Weibo. Four years later, People's Daily updated this "bride price map". In many places, especially in rural areas, not only the bride price has doubled, but houses and cars have also become the standard for marriage. The bride price is originally the man's respect for the woman and her parents, and it also shows the man's parents' recognition of the woman. Now it has really become the touchstone of marriage. In some places, the bride price has become the headline standard to measure marriage. Some families, in order to show off their pride and face among relatives and friends, prepare bride price and borrow money everywhere, borrowing 10 thousand here and 30 thousand there to pay off their debts after marriage. In some areas, parents even raise their daughters' "worth" and make "marrying a daughter" a means of "collecting money". There is a saying in Xiaoxian County, Anhui Province, that if you have three daughters, you will die rich, and if you have three sons, you will die poor. When a man and a woman get married, the bride price offered by the woman is often higher than 654.38+ 10,000 yuan. Without 654.38+ 10,000 yuan, it is difficult to get a wife. Zaohe Town, Suqian City, Jiangsu Province is close to the Grand Canal, and many women even demand "one iron and one cigarette". "One iron" refers to a million-dollar iron boat, and "one cigarette" refers to a car. In some rural areas of Gansu, the gift money should be at least 6.5438+0.8 million yuan. Locals call the bride price demanded by their married daughters "selling" and the bride price paid by the man "buying". This married daughter has really become a "selling daughter"! And because of a bride price, the two sides calculated and calculated, and in the end, not only feelings may be lost, but even lives may be lost. A newlywed couple in the northern plain of Henan Province, after a fierce dispute over the bride price 1 10000 on their wedding night, the groom was furious and smashed the bride to death. The groom-to-be in Huoqiu County, Anhui Province suspected that the bride price caused great psychological pressure before the wedding and jumped to his death. Some people even regard it as a means to cheat money. The reason why lankao county introduced such a regulation is because the local situation of "cheating marriage" keeps happening. At the beginning of 2065438+2008, a local fraud gang of "one woman marries five husbands" was successfully destroyed. The gang used the rural "engagement" custom to ask the man for a bride price ranging from 60,000 yuan to160,000 yuan, and committed five consecutive crimes, making illegal profits of more than 400,000 yuan. Disappear as soon as you succeed. It is really necessary to correct the "sky-high bride price" and advocate a new style of marriage customs! The starting point of Huinan Street is good, but this document makes people know that they urgently need a legal adviser! In fact, in response to the chaos of sky-high bride price, many places have successively issued guidance on the amount of local bride price. The Lankao County Party Committee and the county government jointly issued the Implementation Plan for the Special Renovation of Red and White Events in lankao county on February 3, 20 16. It is stipulated that the county planning area should not exceed 30 thousand yuan and the rural area should not exceed 20 thousand yuan. Those who ask for too much bride price and refuse to return the suspected crime shall be dealt with by the public security organs according to law. The practice of Huinan Street is regarded as the implementation of the regulations of the superior. However, the problem is that in the county-level regulations, those who are transferred to the public security organs for legal treatment are not only "refusing to return too much bride price" but also "suspected of committing crimes". In the street, the important condition of "suspected crime" is omitted, and it is directly stipulated that those who ask for too much bride price should be handed over to the public security organs for investigation. Just because someone cheats in the name of bride price doesn't mean that all the people who receive the bride price are liars and traffickers. Too much bride price is equivalent to human trafficking and fraud, and Huinan Street obviously lacks legal thinking. The crime of abducting and selling women and the crime of fraud have strict conviction standards in the criminal law. To say the least, the law does not stipulate the bride price. The two families give a bride price of 100 thousand or millions, all of which are housework. The street office handed over "those who demanded too much bride price" to the public security organ. Should the public security organ accept it? More ironically, the person in charge of Huinan Street said in an interview that only the bride price is mandatory. "After you get married, you have to give your mother-in-law10 million, and we can't control it." This seems to be an article made to meet the standards issued by superiors. As long as it is not in the name of bride price, it is not formalism to give more and less at will. It is a good thing to advocate and encourage not too much bride price, but it has changed its taste when it is implemented in the streets. Such wonderful documents are not rare in the local area. Fenggang County, Zunyi, Guizhou Province once issued a "red-headed document" in the name of the county party committee and county government, demanding that "remarriage is not allowed to hold banquets; Both sides are not allowed to hold banquets for remarriage. " In some places, the village rules and regulations stipulate that "the girl's husband needs the collective discussion and decision of the village Committee", and married women who have not moved out of their hukou no longer enjoy any treatment in the village. To some extent, the grass-roots managers' weak legal consciousness is more terrible than the vulgar wind such as sky-high bride price and big-scale handling. Enterprises and institutions have legal advisers, and this local government should also have a legal adviser system. How to make decisions that involve the interests of the broad masses, without violating the party discipline and state laws and living up to the fair people? You should listen to your lawyer more often. Otherwise, this wonderful document will not only fail to solve the problem, but will eventually become a laughing stock.
