[quote=BBQQ,257212]What is 'marriage of convenience'? A marriage between two persons from similiar family backgrounds can be called 'marriage of convenience'. If a poor girl loves a rich man, their marriage is called 'morganatic marriage'. In ancient China, 'marriage of convenience' has played the dominant role in people's marriage concepts. Today, it seems that this concept has rarely appeared. But it does exist. Here is an example.

Song Yang and Wang Lingyan have got engaged. But Xiao Wand is not so happy because she comes from countryside and his fiance was born in Hohehot. His parents are both professors in a university. They have bought a house for their son. Her fiance suggests her many times that she should prepare a car as her marriage portion since he has got their house. However, she and her parents can't afford to buy a car. What's more, it seems that her mother-in-law does not like very much because of her family background. Xiao Wang says that she is not confident about her marriage. If her parents in law look down her and do not like her, she would break up with her fiance.

Why does Xiao Wang worry about her marriage?  'Marriage of convenience' . His BF's parents hope their son can find a girl who has similar familiy background with him. Are their parents wrong? Being parents, they hope their child can have a happy marriage. But should they stick to the rule 'marriage of convenience'? What do you think of it? Do you think 'morganatic marriage' can end happily?[/quote]
