High marriage rates and high divorce rate

Transnational marriage is a marriage beyond marital relations between national boundaries and people in different countries.According to public information, in recent years, the number of transnational marriage registration in China is increasing year by year, and has been involved in 53 countries and regions.However,behind the greatly increasing, the divorce rate of this kind of marriage is rising as well, and has been significantly higher than the growth rate of marriage.The data shows, among the Canadian and Chinese husbands and wifes, the divorce rate is 60%. In 1997, the Japanese and Chinese husband to divorce his wife for 30% of the number of married a Japanese wife and husband divorce, China accounted for 35% of the number of marriage. From 1990 to 1995 the marriage grows 2.4 times, and the divorce logarithm growth 2.8 times. In 1990 the marriage and divorce ratio is 20%, compared with 26% in 1995.

The existing problem of transnational marriage

Allegedly, there are many Chinese daughter-in-law to overseas, life was not like they had imagined that everywhere is heaven. On the contrary,they suffered the grievance and even be abused outside, but due to the face, they would rather working abroad as the babysitter than return home.And there are many Chinese in foreign countries chose to marry a foreigner before, eventually divorce and go back home to find a

Chinese again.what’s more,many of them have to face the dispute about the ownership of their children caused by divorce.

Here are some failed examples for the trans-national marriage:

1、The foundation of marriage is not for love.The transnational marriage is mostly driven by money and material benefits, marry people outside the country just want to seek a better material life and get more enjoyment.

2、Appear a number of age gap "grandchildren marriages".Most of the transnational marriage age level is disparity. Generally ,a twenty or thirty year old Chinese girl marry a quite big years old of fifty or sixty or even seventy, eighty foreign man.

3、The emergence of a short time known of "lightning marriage".Along with the acceleration of the pace of the times, more and more marriages “fall in love at the first sight”, particularly among young men and women.

4、The phenomenon of sham marriage by foreign man is serious.There are many Chinese women were confused by material interests and be cheated to foreign countries.

The cultural difference is the chief killer

Now,let me analyses the current situation and problems of transnational marriage from the differences between Chinese culture and Western culture.

Firstly,Westerners’concept of love and marriage is not like us.They pay more attention to communication, spirit and hobbies instead of the economic ability or education,while the Chinese marry-age young women seem to be more concerned about each other's "hardware" conditions such as wage,house,car and so on.

Secondly, Chinese couples rely more on each other both in the spiritual and material.They can share anything with each other.But in western countries, sweethearts of husband and wife are so independent that you might even thought they w ere ruthless.They don’t believe that love a person will have to pay much money,what they are more concerned about is the happiness between each other’s company.
