A new term has become popular recently among Chinese Internet users: "naked marriage". And no, this isn't a kinky new trend. In fact it refers to people who go against the grain here in China and get married before they own things like a car or house and without all the trappings of a full on marriage ceremony. These couples are happy simply with a photo of the two of them and a marriage certificate.
The trend has caused a lot of debate here in China, where owning a house and a car are seen by many as prerequisites to marriage. The China Youth Daily website has carried out a poll on this subject, asking people whether or not they support the idea of a naked marriage.
