-In China,for example, marriage is an arrangement between two families, fixed by the parents rather than the individuals concerned.Gansu, which has only a low level of economic development, found that 60% of marriages are still arranged by parents.
-As is true in the other developing Asian societies. In Chinese cities, not only divorce, but
cohabitation is becoming more frequent.
