The article depicts that men are expected to provide for their partners, despite the Chinese law stating that both males and females should cater to the needs of their families. The reading is important in my research since it compares the roles of men in marriage in China and western countries.

The reading illustrates how “left-over” men are doing whatever they can to get wives in China. In essence, does the search for the right partner to marry enable these males more committed to their roles in marriages?

Cartwright, Mark. “Women in Ancient China.” Ancient History, 2017, /article/1136/women-in-ancient-china/. Accessed 24 Nov. 2019.
Ancient Chinese history shows that women were socially segregated, and they behaved in a way to please their fathers and husbands.

The article reveals that due to the plummeting number of females in China, some Indonesian women are sold to be married to Chinese men. I will use it in my research to show the roles of males in marriages when they marry Indonesian females.

The book shows how fathers’ and husbands’ roles have changed in contemporary society. Therefore, using this book is critical to understanding the new roles of men in marriages.

The article depicts that many Chinese women are extending their age of getting married. For this reason, marrying older females can significantly change the roles of men in marriages, which is the reason why I will use this reading in my research.
