A woman recently paid a sum of five million Yuan in dowry to marry a man 15 years younger to her in China's Hainan Province. According to Taiwan News, the 38-year-old woman offered the money to convince the parents of the 23-year-old man to accept the marriage.
The woman apparently fell pregnant after a romance with the younger man, after which he proposed marriage. Initially, the groom’s parents opposed the wedding, citing the 15 year age difference between them, as well as the bride’s 14-year-old child from a previous marriage. However, the bride – a wealthy real estate businesswoman – offered them a dowry of 660,000 yuan (USD 104,273) in cash, a real estate lot, and a Ferrari sports car, altogether worth an estimated a 5,000,000 yuan (USD 789,950). The parents gave their blessing immediately following the generous offer.
They married in an extravagant ceremony, arriving in a red Ferrari with the bride bedecked in gold and other expensive jewelry.
Chinese citizens have had mixed reactions to the union, with many congratulating the pair, but some claiming the young man only married the woman for her money rather than love.
“I once again believe in the power of money,” wrote one Weibo user.
“Father: Our boy’s bride is loaded, let’s accept the deal to cash in!” wrote another.
