Want A Ghar Jamai? In China, You Can Get Rich Live-In Son-In-Laws From Agency
Traditionally, in many Eastern cultures, women would leave their homes as a customary part of the wedding process.?
However, as times evolve, cultures must adapt, and China is no exception to this trend.?
A matchmaking agency in China is attracting significant attention for offering live-in son-in-laws, reflecting a gradual shift in customs and traditions.?
Traditional husband no more?
Traditionally, across the globe, it has been the norm for women to leave their homes and families to reside with their partners and in-laws, assuming caregiving responsibilities.?
However, challenging this tradition, a Chinese agency named Jindianzi, situated in Hangzhou¡¯s Xiaoshan district, Zhejiang province in Eastern China, is introducing the concept of live-in son-in-laws.?
This emerging trend is not only gaining favor among women and their families but also among men, as the agency facilitates the search for potential wealthy women for single men.?
How the ideal live-in son-in-law should be?
A crucial criterion for potential candidates is that individuals labeled as "lazy" are discouraged from applying through this agency.?
Additionally, the "live-in son-in-laws" are required to reside with the bride and her family.?
Specific qualifications include an annual income of at least Rs 12 lakh, a height requirement of 5 feet and 6 inches, and, notably, a clean record with no criminal history or tattoos.?
In this setup, it is emphasised that the children will adopt the surname of the wife to perpetuate her family lineage.?
While this practice is gradually gaining popularity in various parts of the world, it has been a longstanding tradition in Xiaoshan for decades.?
In this region, parents of women are hesitant to allow their grandchildren to bear the surname of another family, as it signifies relinquishing their family wealth.?
"Regardless of gender, some people just want to painlessly achieve success, and they consider marriage the easiest way," said one person on Chinese social media site Weibo.?
