In the People's Republic of China the redefinition of the
procedures and symbols of marriage formed one of the main means by
which the State has attempted to create major changes in the
relations between the sexes, the generations and between domestic
and kin groups. In this detailed anthropological study, first
published in 1981, Dr Elisabeth Croll examines the changes which
have taken place with the institution of marriage between the early
1950s and the late 1970s. She observes the changes in the criteria
governing choice of spouse, negotiation procedures, the age of
marriage and its ritual and ceremonial forms. This book is based on
both documentary sources and research visits to the People's
Republic. As an anthropological approach to marriage it raises
broader conceptual questions on the relations of marriage to
kinship structures, and the interaction of economy and ideology in
processes of social change.
