[quote=RITA,36849]“Walking marriage” doesn’t mean people can change their partners as they wish they could, People get together for love and love only, no money issue involved. Lots of couples never changed their lovers for life. The place where Mosuo people live is not big, some modern (so called) civilization is still a luxury which the local people do not want to ‘pay’ for it. The tribe has her own rules/ laws, people behave much nobler than some of those who live in the most civilized society. If a person loses reputation, s/he loses almost everything, no chances for “walking marriage”, because all the people will stay away from him/her.

After the couple’s first child is born, there will be a ceremony held on the day when the baby is one month old. His girlfriend’s family will accept this guy afterwards and he can visit his (阿夏=Ah Xia=girlfriend) girlfriend even at daytime in public, if he wishes, he could also help with some housework or other things. It is not obligated whatsoever for the father to pay for the children’s raising cost, but most fathers will give their children some pocket money from time to time. Well in general the children are closer to their uncles (their mothers’ brothers) who are responsible to raise the kids of their sisters.

This is where the Mosuo people live, beautiful isn’t it?
