Abstract:

In the current process of marriage in China, the bride price is an indispensable part. In recent years, with the rapid development of China's social economy and the continuous increase of per capita income, a trend of comparison has swept across, leading to the continuous increase of bride price amounts. This not only aggravates the economic burden of the party paying the bride price but also lays hidden dangers for the marriage. As a result, the number of bride price dispute cases during divorce has been increasing, while the Civil Code and other rele-vant laws are not perfect in this regard.

With the development of the economy and the improvement of people's education level, Chinese women are constantly awakening their awareness of rights and fighting for their own rights under the influence of feminism. However, as the influence of feminism has expanded in China, some Chinese people have distorted it and developed it into pastoral feminism, using it as a tool to compete for interests. The problem of betrothal prices has become more pronounced in recent years due to the imbalance of the male-to-female ratio. Betrothal price often leads to conflicts between the families of men and

This article undertakes an analysis of a Zimbabwean High Court case, Mangwende v Machodo, on the refund of the bride price. It is ascertained in the article that the bride price is a legal requirement for customary marriages, hence constituting a significant founding culture for customary marriages. A point of contention motivating the article is, as was held in the case under discussion, that a cheating wife's bride price may be withheld by the husband who would have not paid it in full or, where it was paid up, he can be refunded in full.

Abstract:

In contemporary society, issues of women’s rights and gender equality have always been a focus of attention. Despite some progress made over the past few decades, gender inequality persists across various fields, sparking a series of feminist movements and actions. In China, a unique gender equality concern—the “bride price”—has garnered significant attention. As part of traditional Chinese wedding customs, the bride price symbolizes the groom’s respect for the bride. Nevertheless, in modern society, the escalating bride price amounts have led to differences in perceptions and competitive mind

Buchi Emecheta’s novel The Bride Price is examined for its overall literary strength, and particularly for its use of syncretism. Her work is compared with that of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus, and it is concluded that both writers assist us in understanding today’s African diaspora. In addition, it is argued that several key passages in Bride Price are resonant for their extensive use of metonymy, and that Emecheta’s writing exhibits strong strands of the postcolonial, including the trope that the female body can be the site of multiple instantiations of hegemony and dominance.

Abjection, a term developed by French philosopher Julia Kristeva, refers to being excluded or cast out from something considered sacred or pure. It’s associated with feelings of disgust, shame, and humiliation. Buchi Emecheta’s novel The Bride Price 1976 delves into the female identity and shows how the woman is being changed into abject because of the oppression and subjugation. Bride price, also known as dowry, is the practice of transferring wealth from the groom’s family to the bride’s family upon marriage.

Men have all the powers in controlling the whole family. The traditional society of Africa follows their culture as it is especially in paying the bride from the groom’s family.

Dowry and bride price are inherently two different types of property but have a close relationship through the marriage event between two individuals. This article is an analysis of the legal nature of these two assets under both the legal theory and practice. In terms of hypothesis, the law on marriage and family currently has enough legal bases to determine the general or specific nature of these two types of property, although it is not clearly mentioned in accordance with law. This study is also a comparison with countries’ regulations and analyses practical law application in Vietnam thro

Abstract:

Nearly all previous studies on customary marriage in traditional societies indicate that the practice of bride price demeans women. It, therefore, should be abolished. This study shows the opposite. The bride price practiced by traditional societies has a sacred purpose. The practice upholds women’s dignity. To some extent, women are even worshipped as if they were fertility goddesses. In this study, “paca” (bride price) of the Manggaraians in Indonesia is taken as a study case. The study used qualitative and quantitative methods. The study found that nearly all informants reject the notion of

Abstract:This study examines the postmarriage bargaining power of women—specifically, their decision-making power with regard to fertility—vis-à-vis imbalances in matching in the marriage market. Applying a multinomial logit model to data on rural Bangladesh for 1998/99, the study gauges women's relative empowerment: (i) at the time of marriage (measured by the bride price as a share of total marriage payments) and (ii) postmarriage (measured by women's use of the contraceptive pill). The empirical findings reveal that a higher bride price (as a share of total household marriage payments) has

Abstract:

In recent years, the marriage rate in Chinese society has shown a depressed state. This paper takes the cost of marriage as the starting point, then analyzes the reasons for the low marriage rate in Chinese society from the four dimensions. First, in China's social norms, owning a house is the premise of an ideal family, and China's high housing price limits the expectations of young people for their future families. Second, bride price and dowry limit the expectations of young people to form a family. The rising price of bride price became a burden for men to bear, and dowry is difficult to t

In the summer of 2020, a fragment of a cow's rib with a Cyrillic inscription was found at excavations in Novgorod. The place of the find is one of the richest boyar estates in the Lyudin quarter of medieval Novgorod. The time of the document hitting the ground is the last quarter of the 13th—the first twenty years of the 14th century. The inscription is fully preserved, it contains a whole readable message. The historical and cultural value of the find lies in the content of its compact inscription: it is unique evidence of a bride-price agreement. The terminology is of value: the bride, on wh
