I have a friend who is from Maoming and lives in Zhanjiang. She said that there are rules in her hometown: girls can't get married at the age of 3 1. Is it true?/You don't say. Why?

As for the saying that Maoming girls can't get married before the age of 3 1, my understanding is that this saying does exist in the local area, but it is not a strict rule, but is influenced by traditional ideas.

It is understood that in the traditional culture of Maoming area, women should get married as soon as possible after puberty, otherwise they will become "leftover women". In the traditional concept, "leftover women" is a bad name and even discriminated by society. Therefore, many parents encourage their daughters to get married as early as possible, instead of waiting until they are older.

However, this concept is not absolute and not all families will follow it. In modern society, more and more people begin to pay attention to personal career and freedom, and the age of marriage is also delayed. At the same time, the law does not stipulate that girls can't get married before 3 1 year old, so now more and more young people choose to get married at the right age.

In a word, the saying that girls can't get married before 3 1 is influenced by traditional ideas, not legal provisions or strict rules.
