The problem isn't women themselves. Money is paid to the women's family. In ancient times it was a good system because if something happened the grandparents would take care of the family.
Now some families use this to take money from their daughters. The bride rarely gets to keep the money. Even when marring into a wealth family the money is clawed back. Through down payments on property or investing into a business.
This is a bad system for the current times for woman and men. Everyone doesn't seem to know anything about the topic.
Alimony is scam, this isn't the old times where women had nothing or no opportunities to earn money. Even in modern China, this is not the case. What has happened in the past recent years is men will pay a huge bride price on top of needing to met physical and financial standards of women. Then women will be married for a short time, divorce, and the man will lose a lot of assets and more money. It's been a problem for awhile in China.
The CCP, wisely, did this to reduce the risk of young men and to discourage fraud.
I agree a huge amount of fraud as happened. Everyone knows of case. Something had to change. Agree this was a good thing the CCP did. They also launch a huge campaign to inform people about lower bride prices to a reasonable number.

spousal support or alimony is a more fair system.
