Why do you say that marriage requires a bride price?

Wedding bride price is a custom handed down from ancient times. With the changes of the times, the amount of bride price has been changing. Most parents want the bride price for their daughter's happiness, and there are some other reasons.

I. Traditional customs

Wedding bride price is handed down from old customs. In the past, women took care of each other at home and educated their children. After marriage, they had no contact with their families, so the man would give her some bride price, which was also a symbol of the conclusion of the marriage. The woman could not go back on her word after receiving the bride price.

Second, be grateful for the kindness of your parents.

Although the woman is not as estranged as before after marriage, the man will also give his parents a bride price to thank them for their kindness. The purpose of this bride price is different for every family. Some parents will supplement the family, and some parents will leave it to their daughters.

Third, women's sense of security.

Although it is not necessary for women to stay at home after marriage, due to social and family factors, some women still choose to return to their families and give up their ideals and jobs. The woman's parents will worry that her daughter will have a sum of emergency money in case of problems in the future marriage of the new couple, so they will ask the man for a bride price.

Fourth, supplement the family.

For some poor people, the bride price can also supplement the family, especially those who have more than one child at home, and may regard the bride price money as the bride price or dowry of their other children.

Wedding gifts are becoming more and more annoying to men. Many couples break up because of poor communication, so couples should understand each other in bride price.
