Don't go, please don't go!
Mom, this is all your fault!
It was my brother who forced me to do it!
Let me go! Don't go!
On the day of the wedding, just as they entered the bride's house,
the groom was confronted by his mother-in-law.
She demanded 600,000 additional yuan as dowry
to buy a house for the bride's brother.
Otherwise, he had to drink a whole bucket of used water to wash his feet.
As they did not reach any agreement, the groom firmly canceled the wedding.
The devastated bride fell to her knees in tears, begging him not to leave.
That day, Mr. Chang came to pick up his fiancée,
accompanied by family and friends.
But upon entering, he was intercepted by the bride's mother,
who demanded that he drink the water from a bucket where his feet had been washed.
Although perplexed, he tried to maintain his composure,
because it was a special day.
He even claimed that he would be willing to wash his mother-in-law's feet,
but that drinking that water was humiliating.
However, the bride's mother was categorical.
If you don't drink it, there is no wedding.
She claimed that this was a local tradition,
and that rejecting it was a sign of a lack of true love for her daughter.
Even so, she offered an alternative.
If she did not want to drink the water, she could show her love in another way.
Thinking that he had found a way out, Mr. Chang asked what he should do.
To his surprise, the mother-in-law asked for another 600,000 yuan
as an additional gift to help her son buy a house.
With that insinuation, the bride also began to pressure him.
Either you drink the water, or you give the money.
Seeing that even his future wife was against him, Chang lost his patience.
He took off his jacket, flipped the bucket of water, and turned around to leave.
The bride, in a state of panic, ignored her mother and ran to hug him, crying.
Don't go! It was mom and my brother who forced me to do it!
It turned out that Chang came from a wealthy family,
and had already given a dowry of 380,000 yuan.
But the bride's mother considered that it was not enough,
and wanted to take advantage of the wedding day to demand more.
After being manipulated by his mother and brother, the bride accepted the plan.
Chang could not tolerate such an attitude.
He knew that if he gave in that day, nothing guaranteed that they would not ask for more in the future.
He clearly declared,
The wedding is canceled!
In addition, he announced that he would claim the complete return of the dowry,
and warned,
If they did not return it, they would be seen in court.

Come back, please! Come back! Open the door, my dear wife!
After the departure of the bride's family, the bride's mother maintained a challenging attitude.
She kept scolding her daughter,
and claimed that the groom had abandoned her because he didn't really love her.
With total certainty, she said she would find a better man for her daughter.
Meanwhile, the bride, abandoned on the same day of her wedding,
collapsed crying on the floor,
while her mother was only thinking about how to get money to buy a house for her son.
The state-owned Chinese network CCTV News points out that the dowry,
an ancient ritual linked to marriage in China,
has deep cultural and social roots.
It is a symbolic act, not an economic transaction,
intended to represent respect and affection between both families.
In many rural areas of the country,
the dowry is still a mandatory practice,
transmitted from generation to generation.
It usually consists of money, goods or other forms of wealth
that the groom's family gives to the bride's family before the engagement.
However, in recent times, the traditional rite has been replaced by a mercantilist notion,
the bride's price.
Today, the dowry is perceived as a form of financial compensation that the groom must give,
in addition to covering other marital expenses.
Men in China face enormous pressure.
They must pay the dowry, buy a house, a car,
support both families, take care of the wife and children.
Everything falls, to a large extent, on the shoulders of the groom.
This is one of the reasons why the number of marriages has fallen sharply,
50% less than in 2014.
This is added to a growing rate of divorces, which already reaches 42%.
Of every 100 couples who get married, 42 end up separating.
According to the New York Times,
part of the problem arises in the strict policy of the only child
that China applied for four decades.
During that time, many families favored the birth of boys,
which generated a serious demographic imbalance.
The disparity is particularly marked in rural areas,
where there are at least 19 million more men than women.
In addition, many women prefer to marry men from cities
in search of better social, educational and sanitary conditions.
This forces poor countrymen to pay higher sums if they want to get married.
Yu Jing Tong, a professor of sociology at the University of Hong Kong, stated,
This has led to the breakup of many families.
Parents who spend everything and end up in financial ruin,
just to get a wife for their son.
In addition, the increase in the cost of living has caused the high doses
to be perceived as a kind of savings or emergency fund.
According to sociologists, a more effective way for the government to limit this practice
would be to increase the budget for child care and medical care for the elderly.
According to the Xinhua agency,
residents of a village in County X said that two or three years ago,
the average dose in the region was more than 100,000 yuan,
but currently many weddings require at least 200,000 yuan.
Some residents of northern Jiangxi reported that the current average cost per dose
is around 388,000 yuan.
Recently, the case of a man born in 1980
who met his girlfriend through a date in Jiangxi went viral.
After eight months of dating, both decided to get married.
The man gave the bride's family a dowry of 188,000 yuan, according to the applicant.
He commented,
A dowry of 188,000 yuan is normal here.
We call it the big package.
I only had 168,000 yuan saved, and I had to borrow another 20,000 from my friends.
To his surprise, before the wedding,
the bride's family demanded another 30,000 yuan in addition.
The man replied,
I don't have any more money, I've already had to borrow.
The couple argued about this, and the man decided to cancel the commitment.
He recovered the 188,000 yuan from the dowry,
returned the loan money, and left on a trip.
This type of social stagnation has worrying consequences.
Recent reports show an increase in sexual crimes,
especially those committed against women and minors.
In order to satisfy their physical or emotional desires,
some single men may resort to prostitution
or get involved as third parties in extramarital relations.
Liu Ziyun, a professor at the Department of Sociology at the University of Zhejiang, commented.
In order to address this problem,
the Supreme Court of the People of China issued the Regulation on Legal Issues
Applicable in Court of Arguments Related to the Marriage Dowry.
Eraser for comments.
The document clearly states,
It is strictly forbidden to use marriage as an excuse to extort money,
and also states,
In a village in Shanxi,
previously half of the men over 35 could not find a wife.
But now, the people celebrate around 20 weddings a year.
Local authorities have helped residents build homes
and have taught them to raise bees,
grow medicinal herbs,
or start a business in the hotel sector to generate income.
Some regions have tried to reverse gender imbalance
by attracting young women to rural areas.
In a town in the Autonomous Region of Inner Mongolia,
the government actively promoted traditional embroidery,
which encouraged young women to return to their villages to work
and thereby facilitate the formation of new couples.
In Shanxi, the authorities established an e-commerce center,
hiring many women to sell local agricultural products online.
For its part, the central government in Beijing
has flexibilized the policy of the only child in recent years.
Although multiple measures have been implemented in a coordinated manner,
the problem will not be solved in the short term.
By 2020, it was estimated that there were about 30 million single men in China
without the possibility of finding a partner.
Recently, a country economist even proposed legalizing polyandry,
a woman with several husbands,
although this solution was widely rejected for being ethically unacceptable.
In reality, many families are forced to get into debt
due to the exorbitant gifts.
Some young people are forced to end romantic relationships
because they cannot meet the high financial requirements.
Some women live unhappily in their new marriages,
and other families face serious disputes related to the dowry.
All this shows that demanding an excessive dowry does not guarantee a lasting marriage.
Valuing only the economic amount, ignoring the emotional foundation of the relationship,
puts harmony and family stability at risk.
These scenes of exorbitant gifts are heartbreaking and suffocating for anyone who witnesses them.
I hope that many brides can reflect clearly on the path they want to take and do not allow...
