Recently, the Hunan Provincial High People's Court broadcast the centralized implementation of the lottery rebate case, which attracted netizens' attention. In one case, a Shanghai man married a woman in Ningxiang three times and did not live together after marriage. The court ruled that the woman returned more than 250000 yuan of the betrothal gifts, and the woman was detained for 15 days without execution. Relevant staff of the court said that they hoped to popularize the law on bride price through live broadcast, advocate healthy, thrifty and civilized marriage, and curb the occurrence of high price bride price.

The live broadcast of the return of betrothal gifts by the Hunan High Court is undoubtedly an important attempt at judicial openness and transparency. For a long time, the judicial process is often regarded as a mysterious and unreachable field, and the public has little understanding of it. However, with the development of information technology and the advancement of the rule of law, judicial transparency has become an inevitable trend. This live broadcast of the return of betrothal gifts not only gave the public an intuitive view of the judicial implementation process, but also enhanced the public's sense of identity and trust in the legal authority. This transparent judicial model is conducive to enhancing judicial credibility and promoting social fairness and justice.
This live broadcast triggered extensive discussions on the question of betrothal gifts. As a part of Chinese traditional marriage culture, betrothal gifts originally implied blessings and beauty. However, in some areas, betrothal gifts have gradually evolved into an embodiment of economic burden and comparison mentality. The high betrothal gifts not only bring heavy economic pressure to the man's family, but also contribute to the bad social atmosphere. Therefore, we need to reflect on and change this unhealthy marriage concept and social phenomenon, and advocate rational, equal and civilized marriage values.
The return of betrothal gifts broadcast by Hunan High Court is not only a simple judicial case, but also a landmark event with profound social significance. It shows us the new trend of judicial transparency and the severe challenge of marriage ethics. In the future development, we need to further strengthen the construction of judicial openness and transparency, and promote social fairness and justice; At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the construction of marriage ethics and social morality, and promote healthy, civilized and rational marriage values. Only in this way can we jointly build a more harmonious, stable and beautiful society.
