Early Marriage In China.
It Is nothing rnre in China for boya
twelve to fourteen years old to marry,
The physical, moral and intellectual
development of the contracting par
ties has nothing to do with the matter.
Other considerations entirely regulate
the affair.
An old Chinese aphorism says that
the great brsiness of life is ended when
the sons and daughters are married.
The Chinese parents do not care to run
the danger of postponing the marriage
of their children, especially of their
sons, until after their owu death.—Ex
