For 50 years, China has had a ban on university students getting married or having children. This led to the students facing a dilemma such as whether to give up studying or delay their wedding, or stay in school and have an abortion.

This is about to change. It has not been confirmed when, but an official said the restiriction was to be lifted soon." A new draft regulation on management of college students will no longer prohibit graduate and undergraduate students from marriage and childbearing."

Do you think the Chinese were better off with the law inact? Although it had its benifits, it got the students educated before marriage it also is a slight invalidation on individual rights. What do you think?

if I thought they were right, I wouldnt be married now ;)
obviously I dont agree with them :)

I agree (if it's only related to china.) The chinese population has reached billions and the birth rate is just going on and on. The law atleast made sure the population blast stayed in control.

Students all over the world enjoy sex and see early marriage as a passport to it. The law in china just made sure students behave and learn and get educated about sex and children so that it would make them wiser about marriage.

It's against human rights, so I'm against such laws which restricts human beings from practicing their sexual rights.

It may encourage them to skip postgraduate study in order to get married, or to not go to university at all.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I would love to see some figures on this.

Well the ban is lifted now, but I see your point.

Ice Tea, is sex more important then education? I can't believe you bring THAT up of all things :lift:

I think that banning marriage is wrong - its forcing people to make very difficult choices: family or education. God, there seems to be a lot of restrictions in china!

giving an opinion from my chair is very easy, I dont know how much they like it but if it was me there i know i would be HATING it, how can they restrict me from living the way i want to live. Aaah i never heard about this before I wonder if something similar happened in ksa or a restriction of any kind would be left or ignored (sorry for drifting but it itches me!)...

Both are important and can be done at the same time.
