In China, the mother of a man surnamed Xiaojing went to extreme lengths to force her son to marry a girl he had no feelings for.
The woman told the young man that she would kill herself if he did not immediately propose marriage. The guy had to comply.
Interestingly, for many Chinese people, love in marriage is not the most important thing. First of all, agreeing to sign, they seek to improve their financial situation and support the health of both spouses.
By the way, China has been experiencing a demographic crisis in recent years. For the first time in 70 years, the birth rate has collapsed to the point where it has broken an anti-record and is at the lowest level in the world.
