Is 20,000 too much for a bride price?

When it comes to the bride price, it is really a never-ending topic.

This was a good 5000 years of traditional customs, but in these years has become a "male heartbreak, female heartbreak" of a heart disease.

From time to time, we can see such news, a million dowry let the men called "can't afford to marry".

How to cure the sky-price bride price? Lankao County, Henan Province, Hui'an Street Office has given a program!

They introduced this standard, the first stipulates: bride price shall not exceed 20,000, demand bride price "serious people", to human trafficking or fraud penalty.

The 20,000 dowry is the upper limit, to be so calculated, how many traffickers in China?

This sky-high bride price has been criticized.

In 2013, a "map of the country's bride price" was hot microblogging. 4 years later, the People's Daily updated this "map of the bride price" to see that many places, especially in rural areas, not only the bride price doubled, the house, the car, etc. has become a wedding The newest addition to the list is the newest addition to the list, which is the newest addition to the list.

The bride price was originally a sign of respect from the man to the woman and her parents, and a sign of recognition from the man's parents to the woman. Nowadays it has become a real litmus test for marriage.

There are places where the bride price has become the headline criterion for marriage. Some families, in order to set a broad style, in friends and relatives have face, preparations for the bride price everywhere in debt, here borrow 10,000, there borrow 30,000, before the wedding scenery, after the wedding to pay the debt.

And in some areas, there are parents to raise the daughter's "value", so that "marriage" has become a "wealth" means.

In Xiao County, Anhui Province, there is a saying that the family has three daughters will be "rich", if there are three sons that can only be "poor". When men and women get married, the bride price offered by the woman is often higher than 100,000 yuan, not 100,000 bride price is difficult to marry.

Suqian, Jiangsu Soap River Town, due to the Grand Canal, many women are required to "an iron and a smoke", "an iron" refers to the value of a million of iron ships, and "a smoke" is a car.

Some rural areas in Gansu Province, the gift of at least 180,000 yuan. The locals call the bride price demanded by their daughters "selling" and the bride price spent by the men "buying".

The marriage of a daughter has really become a "sale of daughters"!

And because of a bride price, the result of the two sides of the calculation to calculate to go, and finally not only may be emotionally gone, even life may be gone.

A pair of newlyweds in Henan Province, the northern plains of Henan Province, on their wedding night, in order to 110,000 dowry after a heated argument, the groom in a rage will be the bride smashed to death.

The groom-to-be in Huoqiu County, Anhui Province, jumped to his death from a building before the wedding, suspected of causing great psychological pressure because of the bride price.

Some people even specialize in making a as a means of cheating money. The reason why Lankao County issued such a regulation is because of the local "cheating marriage" situation continues to occur.

Early in 2018, the local had successfully cracked down on a "one woman married five husband" fraud marriage gang, the gang used the rural "engagement" custom, to the man asked for 60,000 yuan to 160,000 yuan bride price ranging from five consecutive crimes, illegal profits More than 400,000 yuan. The first time you do this, you will disappear immediately.

Correcting the "sky-high bride price" and advocating a new style of marriage is indeed necessary!

Huinan street is a good starting point, but this document makes people realize that they are in urgent need of a legal adviser!

In fact, in response to the phenomenon of overpriced bride price, many places have introduced a local bride price amount of guidance standards.

Lancao county party committee, the county government on December 31, 2016 jointly issued the "Lancao County on the red and white affairs large manipulation of the problem of special rectification implementation plan.

The provisions of which is not more than 30,000 yuan within the county planning area, not more than 20,000 yuan in rural areas. The bride price is too much to return the suspected crime, by the public security organs according to law.

Huinan street practice is considered the implementation of the provisions of the higher level.

But the problem is that the county regulations, transferred to the public security organs according to law, not only is the "demand bride price too much refused to return", but also "suspected of committing a crime", to the street here, but omitted "suspected of committing a crime

Some people commit fraud in the name of bride price, does not mean that all bride price collectors are liars, traffickers. The bride price is too much to be equated with human trafficking and fraud, Huinan street clearly lacks the rule of law thinking.

The crime of trafficking in women, fraud, in the criminal law is a strict standard of incrimination. Then take a step back, the law on the bride price is not stipulated, the two families you love love to give 100,000, millions of bride price, these are family matters. On the "excessive demand for bride price", the street office to the public security organs to deal with, the public security organs to accept?

What's more ironic is that the person in charge of Huinan Street said in an interview that only the bride price is a mandatory requirement, "after the wedding, you have to give the mother-in-law 10 million, we can't control", which seems to be in order to meet the standards issued by the higher level of the article.

As long as it is not in the name of the bride price, give more or less as you wish, this is not a formality?

This would have been a good thing to advocate and encourage not to ask for too much dowry, but the implementation of the street has changed.

There are a few such strange documents on the local level.

Fenggang County in Zunyi, Guizhou Province, has issued a "red-topped document" in the name of the county party committee and county government, requiring that "remarriage is not allowed to organize a banquet; both sides are remarried are not allowed to organize a banquet.

In some places, village rules and regulations stipulate that "a girl's son-in-law needs to be discussed and decided collectively by the village committee", and that married women who have not yet moved out of their hukou are no longer entitled to any treatment in the village.

To some extent, the grass-roots administrators of this weak legal awareness, than the sky-rocketing bride price, big manipulation and other bad customs more terrible.

Enterprises and institutions have legal advisers, this local government should have a legal adviser system. Involving the interests of the general public decision-making, how to do not violate the party discipline and state law, the next not to disappoint the fairness of the people? Should listen to the lawyer's opinion.

Otherwise, this strange document, not only can not solve the problem, and finally became a laughing stock.
