In traditional customs, before the man wants to marry the bride, he will give the woman a dowry. Originally, it is to thank the parents-in-law for their kindness in nurturing his wife. However, as long as money is involved, everything may deteriorate, and similar disputes emerge in endlessly. A 19-year-old Yi girl from Sichuan Province in mainland China recently returned to her hometown. Unexpectedly, her family forced her to go on a blind date. Her parents directly accepted a bride price of RMB 300,000 (approximately NT$1.32 million), and she was forced to marry on the third day.
“Hot News” reported that the girl was only 19 years old and was from the Yi nationality in Sichuan. They were forced to marry, and the two parties held their wedding on the third day of their blind date.
The girl said that she did not want to get married at all, but her family had already received a bride price of 300,000 yuan, and according to the customs of the Yi people, if she did not get married or divorced after receiving the dowry money, the woman would have to pay money to the man, so she could only be forced to marry . According to the video taken by the girl, since she came home, her face has been filled with a lifeless look, completely lacking the radiant vigor that a 19-year-old should have.
After the video was exposed, netizens commented, “There are still marriages now”, “The family can’t get rid of it, so I can only sell my daughter”, “Is 19 the age of marriage? Is the woman willing? Is this a forced marriage? I hope The Women’s Federation or relevant departments can pay attention to the living conditions of girls”, “The legal age of marriage for women in my country is 20 years old, how do you get a marriage certificate at the age of 19”, “Typical sales contract! Selling children and selling girls.”
