调查显示 近半数受访青年接受'裸婚'
A survey by China Youth Daily showed that about half of the respondents could accept a "bare-bones marriage," or getting married without any major assets or a grand wedding ceremony. Among the 2,004 respondents, 64.5% regarded a "bare-bones marriage" as getting married without an apartment, 56.4% without a wedding ceremony, and 54.2% without a car. The survey revealed that 48.3% of the respondents said they could accept a "bare-bones marriage," 20.5% opposed it, and 92.8% had relatives or friends who had a "bare-bones marriage." Some 63.5% of those surveyed attributed a "bare-bones marriage" to saving money, 58.8% to poor financial conditions, and 51.7% thought the couples prefer to go on trips or shopping rather than spend money on an expensive wedding ceremony. About 53.1% of the respondents believed a frugal "bare-bones marriage" could change the extravagance of traditional wedding ceremonies. The survey also showed that 54.6 percent of the respondents believed rituals were necessary for a marriage. But Ling Zi, a relationship expert from Hangzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province, did not think so, adding that nowadays, many wedding ceremonies are similar and not memorable. |
