The new rule was taped onto doorways around town: Officials were limiting what a groom-to-be could pay for a bride.
The going rate was about $38,000, or five times the average annual salary in this village about four hours outside of Beijing. Now, families were told to keep it below $2,900.
Anything more and they would risk being accused of human trafficking.
The “bride price” — cash, and possibly a house or other goodies to the bride-to-be’s parents — has been part of the marriage pact in most of China for centuries. The costs, though, are swelling as China copes with one of the biggest demographic imbalances in history.
One part of it has been long known: How China’s former one-child policy left a glut of boys — preferred by most Chinese families. Girls were sometimes aborted or simply left in a bureaucratic limbo as unregistered with authorities before the one-child rule was eased in 2016.
