Qingdao "shakes hands" with the world: 334 forei
gn sons-in-law in Qingdao   

  Last year Qingdao government statistics shows that the couples registered for marriage in 2004 amount to more than 140,000, 24% higher than that of 2003; those registered for divorce amount to 12,000, a sharp increase of 43% compared with the year before. The two figures are the highest in the past two decades. In addition, 353 transnational couples have registered for marriage, 18 more than last year, with the increased proportion of foreign sons-in-law.

  Among the 353 foreign marriages in 2004, 334 foreign boys have married Qingdao girls. Those "yangnüxu (foreign sons-in-law)" and "yangxifu (foreign daughters-in-law)" come from all the continents around the world. Nearly 50 American boys and girls settled here last year. There are also those who come from countries like Nigeria, Vietnam, and Greece that transnational marriage has never covered before.

  Japan and South Korea are the major countries where the brides and bridegrooms come. At the same time, nearly 3 out of 10 foreign brides and bridegrooms are from the USA, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Denmark and the Netherlands, increasing the European and American marriages with Qingdao citizens. The average age of the yangnüxu is 30, and the differences between the couples in other respects like incomes and education are much smaller than before. (Li Xiaohua)

  岛城"牵手"世界

  据介绍,2004年我市共办理了353对涉外婚姻登记,其中334个洋女婿娶了青岛姑娘。岛城的"洋女婿"、"洋媳妇"来自30多个国家和地区,涉及除南极洲以外的所有大陆。全年仅美国小伙或姑娘就有近50个进了岛城的门,还有尼日利亚、吉尔吉斯坦、越南、希腊等以前涉外婚姻从未涉及的国家。

  专家分析说,日本、韩国仍是我市市民最大的"亲家",与此同时,岛城与欧美国家"联姻"的比重日渐上升,目前近三成的境外新郎或新娘来自美国、加拿大、澳大利亚、法国、德国、意大利、丹麦、荷兰等国。据介绍,岛城洋女婿平均年龄在30岁左右,夫妻双方在年龄、收入、文化层次上的差距明显缩小。
