编前话:彩礼在中国由来已久,最早可以追溯至两千余年前的周朝。彩礼的本质,是把女人当成用金钱可以交易的商品,是对女性的严重物化。理想的婚姻应该以爱情为前提,不应被彩礼的气息玷污,但理想的婚姻与现实的婚姻是两个不同的概念。男方家庭觉得彩礼沉重不能承受,女方家庭又觉得这点彩礼根本不够养育成本。而从某种程度上来说,彩礼也是衡量女性社会地位的一把标尺,越是歧视女性的地方,彩礼的数额越高,越是性别平等的地方,越淡化彩礼的存在。因此,提高女性的社会地位是逐步消除彩礼的根本途径,让婚姻回归到正常的轨道,让爱情不为金钱所累,是所有人深深期待的。
Preface: bridewealth in China for a long time, dating back to the first 2,000 years ago, the Zhou Dynasty. The essence of bride price is to treat a woman as a commodity that can be traded with money and is a serious materialization of women. The ideal marriage should be based on love, should not be tarnished by the atmosphere of bridewealth, but the ideal marriage and the real marriage are two different concepts. The man’s family felt that the bride price was too heavy to bear. The woman’s family also felt that this color gift was not enough to raise costs. To some extent, the bride price is also a measure of the social status of women. The more discriminating women are, the higher the amount of bride price is. The more gender equality places, the more the existence of bride price. Therefore, to improve women’s social status is the fundamental way to gradually eliminate bridewealth, so that marriage back to normal track, so that love is not for money, is all people look forward to.
