BEIJING - A majority of women in China want to marry men who inherit a large amount of wealth from their parents, a study has said.
Around 60 percent of college girls want to marry men born into rich families who stand to inherit large amounts of assets from their parents, China Daily reported Monday.
A survey carried out by the Women’s Federation of Guangzhou in Guangdong province found that 59.2 percent women prefer to marry men born in the 1980s and 57.6 percent choose men with great potential as their life partner.
“Many college girls are more than willing to pursue a comfortable life by a less personal struggle,” Liu Shuqian, a professor at Guangzhou University was quoted as saying.
Responding to another question regarding their partner’s unfaithfulness, 20 percent of women said they can tolerate occasional infidelity by their partners.
Meanwhile, only 10 percent women said they will be loyal to one person in a lifetime.
The survey interviewed 992 respondents between January to March 2010 and aimed to look into the values of college girls on issues like interpersonal relationships.
