Chinese man refused to pay bride price; she had an abortion at 5 months (8 photos)

In China there is a tradition - the groom must pay the bride's family a fairly large sum, a ransom. This tradition has become so deeply ingrained in the life of the Chinese that it has ruined the wedding and family future of more than one couple.





Now they are even trying to fight against this custom in the media with all sorts of “bride without ransom” campaigns, “the main thing is joy for the young.” And they are even trying to introduce a limit on the ransom amount to 39 thousand yuan.



I love looking at photos from provincial weddings in China, well, we’re purely Chinese!

But it is not so easy to eradicate adherence to traditions, especially in the provinces. So in Fujian, southeast China, a woman whose ransom was not paid had an abortion in her fifth month.

Sad story

A woman named Tintin has been married before. She is 35 years old and has two children from a previous marriage, but her boyfriend Liang was just about to start a relationship with her.

They started dating very quickly, and Tintin became pregnant within two months of the relationship with her third child.





Oh these fun Chinese weddings! And there is a ransom too!

The Liang family was glad that they would soon have an heir, and the women informed that they had already prepared a wedding ransom in the amount of 220,000 yuan (31 thousand dollars!).

True, this money was on an interest-bearing deposit, so it was necessary to wait until the deposit expired. The woman was not bothered by this then, and she continued the relationship. However, when another two months passed and the fiscal year ended, Liang asked the bride to wait another two months.



Do you know where the big market for wedding dresses for pregnant women is? Also in China!

To show the seriousness of her intentions, the woman asked the groom to pay at least part of the ransom, and then it would be possible to apply for marriage.

He delayed the moment as best he could, but in the end he confessed that he would spend the money he had withdrawn on repairing the roof in his mother’s house.

That's why people like this don't get married

Tintin said that she would give part of the amount to the groom's mother when he officially became a husband.

“This will be our joint property, so my mother will be able to use the money like relatives,” said the woman.



And they have weird photo shoots in abundance too! even stranger than ours!

But Liang refused such a plan because he was afraid that Tintin’s parents would not give the money back when the marriage was already concluded.

The situation reached a dead end, the woman was already in her fifth month, the man did not change anything... and the bride had an abortion in order to leave him and not feed another child alone.



It’s difficult for a man from the village to get married; relatives from the provinces take all the juice and money

This is how an incredibly indecisive man and an overly tough-to-decide woman collided. It immediately becomes clear why people like him never got married before 40.

Opinions in China are divided

Bride price is a serious tradition in China, which is always taken into account in matters of preparation for marriage. Half of the Chinese considered the girl to be right and the groom to be extremely unreliable. The woman became pregnant from him, there will soon be an heir, but he cannot fulfill his promise. You shouldn’t have a family or children with someone like that!

The second part, predominantly male, wrote that the ransom amount was too large. This is generally a common example of complaints on social media. networks, but there are even higher ones - up to 50 thousand dollars.



Chic, glitter, foil decorations and red boots!

This is how the bride price became the qualification that did not allow the Chinese family to form when they were even about to have a child!

I personally think that this is not the worst tradition. Yes, it prevents young people from getting married, but you can immediately check whether the husband is a liar and whether he can fulfill his promises and provide for his family. In this case, he turned out to be incapable, which led to sad consequences.



The factories employ people from the provinces, the pay is stable, but youa purchase of 30 thousand dollars?

It’s still scary to have children from such a person, but the woman already has two. For all her commercialism, she is responsible for the children of such resourceful “promisers.”

What do you think, did the bride price save the doomed family from future squabbles or destroy future happiness?
