There are indeed fewer girls here in Liaocheng. In the past two years, girls all went out to work, and their parents were not around to supervise them. They worked and fell in love, and they all married themselves outside. There is also a strange phenomenon in Liaocheng. Second marriages require more betrothal gifts than first marriages, and they also require a car and a house. Those who have been married have experience.
It is very difficult to get a wife not only in Liaocheng but also in rural areas. As far as I know, there are not many older boys in the homes of relatives and friends in the city. On the contrary, in my hometown village, there are only a few older boys left. All. There are quite a few very nice young men who find second wives to take care of their children. And this phenomenon is not only in Liaocheng, but also common in other areas.
I think there are several reasons why it is becoming more and more difficult to marry a wife. 1. The ratio of men to women is imbalanced.
National family planning policies are different, some are tighter and some are looser, resulting in more boys and fewer girls. Naturally, it is difficult for men to find women with them; 2. Economic foundation question.
Nowadays, women getting married in rural areas have very high requirements. Not only do they need high betrothal gifts, more than 100,000 yuan is normal, but the requirements for men are also very strict. They must have a house in the county or city, and also You need to have a car, which is difficult to achieve in rural areas. 3. Women’s thinking is very fashionable.
A low-quality marriage is not as good as a high-quality single. Being single is free and comfortable. You can travel all over the country and leave as you please. Preferring to be single rather than married is a phenomenon not only in rural areas, but also in cities. There are not a few single women.
The main reason is that they don’t want to get married. Some women are even afraid of marriage. They think that after getting married, their lives will be completely ruined. Not only do they have to take care of the family, but they also have to go to work. It is too hard. It is better not to do this. As for marriage, it is true that many people prefer to be single and give up on marriage. 4. Women’s mobility increases.
Nowadays, the tide of migrant workers in rural areas is getting higher and higher. After leaving the village, more and more women are marrying men from other provinces. Moreover, the economic development conditions of different provinces are different. Most of them are just for comfort, which is unstoppable! 5. In the early years, I was influenced by the preference for boys over girls.
Many families try every means to conduct gender identification and select children when they are pregnant, which leads to a serious imbalance in the ratio of men to women. This is an important reason. In addition, some girls go to school or work in other places, find a partner outside, and then settle down, so there are even fewer unmarried girls in rural areas.
In our hometown village, there are not many unmarried girls but a lot of older, unmarried young men. In this situation where there are many girls and boys, it leads to high betrothal gifts, houses, cars, and everything. For example, in our hometown, even if you have a house in the countryside, it doesn't matter. You have to have a house in the city. Therefore, boys with poor economic conditions in rural areas have even less opportunities. After all, it’s all about money!
