Marriage Arranged by an Unborn Baby | 未出世宝宝安排的婚姻

点击查看中英对照

The other day, a Chinese friend told me that, according to traditional custom, one's marriage should be decided by their parents. She added that her mother's marriage was arranged by her grandparents, but her sister had broken with tradition.

"How?" I asked.

"Her marriage was arranged by her unborn baby."

"What do you mean?" I was puzzled.

"She had to get married because of her premarital pregnancy," she explained with embarrassment.
