Arranged Marriages |
|
|
An American coworker is engaged to marry a Chinese woman he met on a marriage site and I've noticed there are many marriage agencies for this purpose in China. I mentioned this to a friend who has traveled extensively and she didn't think anything of it. I know it is common in India to have parents select spouses for children, and it is accepted as a natural custom, but it appears in China many women are willing to accept marriages with 'hope on a promise' and little actual knowledge of who these men are. There seems an attitude of "Let's marry and work the details out later." Any comments. |

What era exactly are you talking about? |
