Intercultural marriage is no longer something new. Statistics indicated that the number of intercultural marriages between Chongqing’s men and foreign women increased, while marriages between Chongqing’s women and foreign men decreased year on year.

Marrying a foreign wife or husband becomes nothing special in the eyes of most people nowadays. Nevertheless it’s still a piece of news. How about the registration of intercultural marriage in Chongqing? According to Chongqing Marriage & Adoption Registration Administration Center, the number of intercultural marriages arrived at 780 last year.

“There is an obvious change comparing to that ten years ago, the number of Chongqing’s girls marrying foreign men is lesser, whilst growing Chongqing’s men have foreign wives”, said an official in charge of the center.

Dating back to early 1990’s, Chongqing started to offer the registration service of intercultural marriage. Thousands of girls from Chongqing married foreign men every year then. The men were mainly from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, and even the May-December marriages weren’t unusual.

“The phenomenon gets less and less nowadays”, reiterated the leader. The intercultural marriages registered in recent two years were hardly seen the May-December type as the couples’ ages were quite close. Moreover, men from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan dwindled and from the EU and the USA increased. The couples’ education was evidently enhanced, and some of men even spoke Chinese mandarin.

Aside from the change, Chongqing’s men who came to the registration administration center have a common denominator i.e. proficient in English and no language barriers with their wives.

An insider of the sector disclosed, the company he worked for would hold a wedding ceremony for an intercultural marriage on a monthly basis, many of which were Chongqing’s boys marrying foreign girls. “In such a marriage, Chongqing’s boys usually studied abroad”.

According to Chongqing Foreign Trade and Economic Relations Commission, 5,000-odd foreigners study, work, and live in Chongqing. As a result, opportunities of local men meeting foreign women increased.
