Marriage custom in Zhuang custom

The marriage of Zhuang nationality takes the form of free love and arranged by parents. Generally enjoy full freedom of love before marriage, but parents often interfere in arranged marriages. Monogamy is widely practiced in Zhuang nationality. Women, like men, are family laborers, but only men have the right to inherit. In its marriage system, "staying at home" or "sitting at home" prevailed, and some places still maintain this custom. After young men and women get married, the bride will go back to her mother's house for a short time during major festivals and busy farming seasons, and will not stay in her husband's house for a long time until she becomes pregnant. Therefore, the time for "waiting for marriage" ranges from three to five years. In history, there was sexual freedom during the period of "staying indoors", but in modern times, influenced by Confucian culture, it was considered as improper behavior and was strictly prohibited. Offenders either divorced or compensated for certain property. Now love is free and marriage is independent.
