It's a matter of life and death."If you marry this year, your husband may die earlier," said Joyce Lin, 25, a university graduate. "My parents are not superstitious, so I am also not, but in our opinion it is not a good time for marriage.
In Chinese societies, the husband is usually older than the wife. Indeed, often very much older. And given that men generally have shorter lifespans anyway, chances are that the husband will die earlier than the wife. So, Joyce, you're right, but you're not telling us anything we don't know and it's gonna be true whatever year it is!
