Opening Activity

In China, marriage laws are changing; now, property purchased by married couples will become the property of the partner who purchased it or whose name is on the deed if they get divorced.  This new law puts women at more of a disadvantage in this culture because they most likely not receive property, even if they paid for much of the property.  The divorce rate is increasing in China, up to 39% in Beijing, and many people believe the changed laws could decrease the rate.
