Why is there a phenomenon of "zero bride price"?
First, China people have always been a group that pays attention to etiquette. Especially for marriage, a life event, we can't attach too much importance to it since ancient times. Holding a grand wedding seems to be engraved in the bones of China people. After the reform of marriage customs was put forward, in fact, the pilot projects in many places could not really achieve tangible results. The phenomenon of returning to poverty due to marriage occurs from time to time. Through the goal of "zero bride price", it conveyed the determination of rectification to the society. This concept of daring to take responsibility and dare to act deserves the support of the broad masses.

Second, the goal of "zero bride price" is difficult to achieve. As far as the bride price itself is concerned, most parts of China are still economically underdeveloped areas. For many people, the meaning of bride price is "material compensation", and parents have a stronger concept of raising children to prevent old age, so they not only value the material compensation function of bride price, but also value the insurance of marriage. It is difficult to achieve the goal of "zero bride price". Moreover, if it is the goal of an ordinary person, it will not be realized in the end. It is nothing more than changing a person's life plan, which may be harmless.

Third, the goal of "zero bride price" is unnecessary and unrealistic at this stage. To some extent, "bride price" can really guarantee the happy life of both husband and wife in the future, because in some developed cities, bride price is still often given to small families by the parents of the woman as part of the start-up capital and becomes the property that the bride can freely control. The combination of "bride price" and "dowry" can actually help build a new family and stabilize her future life.

Fourth, the society is progressing and the times are progressing. In fact, with the continuous development of government work, the reform of bad marriage customs has achieved great results. The "sky-high bride price" needs to be curbed, and the concept of "zero bride price" does not need to be rushed. Through the rigid restraint of the government and the change of people's ideas, a new marriage custom model is quietly emerging with the rejuvenation of the nation.
