Arranged marriages ‘encouraged’
NZPA-AP Peking The “feudal” Chinese practice of promising children in marriage has survived in parts of rural China, says a newspaper. The peasants’ daily, “Nongmin Ribao,” cited the example of a village in northern Shandong Province in which half the primary schoolchildren, aged between nine and 15, had already been promised in marriage by their parents.; It said some parents encouraged their children to live together at an early age to make their engagement and arranged marriage irreversible.
