“…résultant d'une surmortalité féminine ancienne et, à partir des années 1980, d'un excédent anormal de garçons à la naissance du fait de la sélection prénatale du sexe (figure 2) [3]. Alors que dans le reste du monde, il y a à peu près autant de femmes que d'hommes aux âges du mariage et de la reproduction (1) , ce n'est pas le cas en Chine qui, en 2010, enregistrait une proportion d'hommes légèrement supérieure (103 hommes pour 100 femmes chez les 20-50 ans).…”

“…In some poverty‐stricken villages, buying a wife is regarded as a normal practice for continuing the family lineage. Rural men who are unable to pay for the inflated cost of marriage find it less expensive to pay traffickers than to marry in the traditional way, which has led to a sharp rise in the sale of wives in some regions of China (Attané, 2013). Although these practices are unethical and illegal in Chinese society, they are difficult to ban because of tremendous demand of marriageable women.…”

et al. 2023

ObjectiveThe goal of the paper is to discover the dynamic features of rural men's age at first marriage, and to explore impacts of marriage expenses on men's age at first marriage in rural China amid a rapid urbanization and sociodemographic transition.BackgroundGiven the rapid urbanization and sociodemographic transition, changes in rural men's marriage timing and its influencing mechanism in China are emerging but remain under examined.MethodThe data were collected by the New Urbanization and Sustainable Development research group from Xi'an Jiaotong University in 2018 (n = 1,391). Regression models were used to explore the influence of men's marriage expenses and regional economic factors on their age at first marriage.ResultsThe relationship between squared total marriage expenses of rural migrant men and their age at first marriage shows as a U‐shaped curve. Conjugal matching, family, premarital migration, and regional economy play important roles for rural men entering their first marriages.ConclusionCompared with the age‐appropriate married men, the early and late married men tend to have higher marriage expenses. Men with more economic resources are capable of seizing high‐qualified women at a younger age, whereas men with less economic resources need to pay more for their first marriage at an older age. Fathers' lower social class and regional economy significantly delay men's age at first marriage.ImplicationsThis study reveals marriage expense is another important factor influencing men's first marriage entry in rural China and provides a clue to solve difficulties of rural men getting married, especially in societies with ongoing rapid urbanization and sociodemographic transition.

Women as Cultural Markers/Bearers

Women have been mobilized as cultural markers/bearers in relation to both nationalist discourse and subnational identity politics. Their role has been both symbolic, to represent the nation or culture, and functional, to transmit it (to their children and to other women). Women have borne the weight of cultural representation through prescriptions concerning their appropriate appearance and behavior, but at the same time women deeply internalize culture and the religious traditions that often inform it. Particularly in anti‐colonial or racial minority contexts, religion and culture have been politically mobilized and women have been called upon as both cultural emblems and as cultural police, in relation to other women. The scholarship examines both the deployment of women as symbols through their appearance and behavior, and women's own ambiguous relationships to these cultural roles, whether as participants (willing or not), defenders, and advocates, educators through maternal transmission of values to daughters and sons, or alternatively as resistants who attempt to create new cultural values.
