Bride price is a very absurd concept. The previous bride price is a beautiful moral. But now for many families. But now it is a heavy burden that many families can't bear. For couples who love each other, the performance of bride price love is a "punishment" for the breakdown of the relationship. In short, everyone has different definitions of bride price and different expectations. Traditional customs and current interests are mixed, which will lead to too many disputes. It is not uncommon for loving couples to go to court in the past. All kinds of ideas are mixed in reality, and there is the temptation of "high price bride price". There is an affair in the middle, a high bride price and risks, which makes marriage no longer pure, but more like a business. The purpose of talking about marriage is no longer simple. Don't ask about love, don't talk about the tacit understanding between two people, but opening your mouth is a bride price.
For the sake of the rights and obligations in marriage and the return of marriage to its essence, in 2022, the Supreme People's Court issued the Interpretation of the Civil Code on Marriage and Family, which made detailed provisions and explanations on the related issues of "returning the bride price". According to the judicial interpretation, there are three situations in which the people's court should support the return of the bride price: 1, and both parties have not gone through the marriage registration formalities; 2. Both parties have gone through the marriage registration formalities, but they have not lived together; 3. Premarital payment brings difficulties to the payer. This can be applied to most legal disputes caused by betrayal and derailment, and it also has a certain protective effect on families who have lost everything because of paying the "sky-high bride price". Judicial interpretation also takes into account different folk customs, regional differences, the economic situation and subjective wishes of the parties, the quality of married life and real life. It has strong guiding opinions on solving practical problems and curbing unhealthy practices.
The law is so clear, and there are many cases of judgment. If you really regret your engagement, according to the negotiation between the two parties and the court's judgment, you should return the returned bride price to the other party and start a new life, but there are still some people who want to "pay a high price for the bride price." Put yourself on the blacklist of dishonesty and be listed as Lao Lai by the court. If you refuse to carry it out, commit a crime, lose face and disobey the law, you will pay a heavy price.
Now some places have taken various measures to stop the trial of sky-high bride price and reform the bad marriage customs in marriage. These are all beneficial ways of exploration and should be accelerated and strengthened. This way of exploration, combined with the fact that nearly 10,000 people are listed as old-timers by the court for not returning the bride price, may effectively curb the sky-high bride price.
