    ’No Shorts’ Rule for Beijing Marriage Licence Applicants
    Couples who want to apply for a marriage licence in Beijing will have to dress smartly in future, or risk being turned away. The city’s Civil Affairs Bureau has announced a new rule stipulating that couples won’t be issued a licence to wed if they show up in shorts, T-shirts or other casual wear, the state newspaper Beijing Daily reports.
    The bureau’s marriage registration director, Han Mingxi, says people aren’t showing sufficient respect for the process. "It is not unusual to see couples registering in shorts and slippers. It shows their carelessness and disrespect for marriage," he tells the paper. Coming into effect on 1 July, the new rule is part of efforts to tackle the capital’s divorce rate. Mr Han says his bureau is currently analyzing a large number of divorce cases, and asking experts to "propose methods and ways to promote marriage and family happiness."
    There has been a mixed response to the new rule among Chinese social media users. "Marriage is not child’s play, it should be dignified," writes one on the Sina Weibo microblogging site. But others think applying for a licence shouldn’t have to be a big deal. "What if a young couple want a low-key event?" asks one user who thinks that applying for a licence is "simply a boring and tedious process" anyway.
选项
答案 Unnecessary to Dress Properly for Marriage Licence Application A new rule for proper dress of marriage licence applicants is issued in Beying as a method to decrease the capital’s divorce rate. Although the authority and some social media users believe that the new rule can help build up respect for marriage and bring down divorce rate, a different voice is also raised; it argues that the process of marriage licence application is of little significance and some people may just want it to be conducted in a low profile. From my perspective, proper dress for marriage licence application is unnecessary. First and foremost, not all couples can afford a proper dress. What are considered to be casual, T-shirts and shorts, for example, might be the only clean and decent clothes of these couples. The intention of the rule will only go astray if it has to be imposed on them, because it creates inconvenience and discourages their determination of marriage. What’s more, although the method may play a positive role in the promotion of marriage and family happiness, it is not the essential or indispensable ingredient in maintaining a marriage. The failure of a marriage normally comes from a lack of communication and company. Therefore, it is the government’s responsibility to come up with ideas on how to lessen the pressure of work and help the marriage couples enjoy more of their time. To conclude, I believe it is not necessary to dress properly for marriage licence application.
