Couple divorced after married for 1 hour.

Marriage that last only 1 year is bad. Imagine a marriage that last only 1 hour. This happens to a couple in Taiwan.

A Taiwanese couple were married only for one hour, until the husband dithered over his wife's request for a new car.

The wife, known only as Wang, had brought her husband, known only as Lee, to a car dealer soon after registering their marriage, as she wanted her husband to buy an imported car for her.

But when Lee, 23, said he would consider it, Wang, 27, immediately snapped.

"Divorce me if you do not want to buy!" the Star Online quoted her as saying.

They then went back to the registration department to file for a divorce.

Thai man married dead girlfriend

The decision of a Surin Television director to marry his dead girlfriend and post the pictures and video of the event to Facebook and YouTube is receiving mixed reactions from the people at large.

Chadil Deffy alias Deff Yingyuen married his long term girlfriend of 10 years, 29-year old Sarinya “Anne” Kamsook, early this month in a bizarre wedding-cum-funeral even as her corpse lay in a coffin at the Tri Vivek temple in Surin Province in North Eastern Thailand, reported the Pattaya Daily News.

The 28-year-old groom commonly called ‘Dave,’ during the nuptials wearing a black tuxedo carefully lifted his late girlfriend’s hand and placed a ring on her finger. The dead bride Sarinya lay on a raised platform attired in a white bridal costume.

Later, the bridegroom uploaded pictures of himself and his dead bride on his personal Facebook page under an album captioned "Corpse Bride." He even uploaded a video to YouTube, which very quickly spread like wild fire.

Both of them fell in love while studying at the Eastern Asia University ten years ago and had planned to get married but the woman had died in an accident on the evening of January 3, 2012.

It was while studying at the Eastern Asia University about a decade ago that the couple met and fell in love. They had planned to marry but Sarinya unfortunately lost her life in a car accident on January 3, 2012.

A friend of Chadil Deffy called Onsiri Pravattiyagul, wrote his viewpoint about the bizarre wedding in an opinion column this week in The Bangkok Post: Onsiri supported his friend, Onsiri says this "wedding" was Defft’s attempt to set right a wrong, however late the action may have been.

Expectedly in the beginning there was a flood of sympathy for the “bridegroom” and wave of sentimental comments. Those romantic at heart were said to be deeply touched by this act of “true love,” however bizarre. And it seemed to have touched a cord with scores of people.

Even the media picked up on the grapevine and splashed the story all over. Chadil Deffy expectedly came under the spotlight, going through an unexpected short time of fame. But then this was too good to be true, because within a few days, the backlash started. And to put it mildly it wasn’t kind at all.

In a blink of an eye, Chadil Dheffy went from being cherished as a hopeless romantic to being maligned as a publicity-crazy opportunist. Now Onsiri Pravattiyagul informs his friend, Chadil Deffy is heartbroken.

According to Onsiri, Chadil was not thinking of gaining fame or publicity when he decided to put a ring on his dead girlfriend’s cold finger. “He merely wanted to make things right, however small or inadequate the gesture might seem. And, yes, Deffy has always been a little eccentric,” clarified Onsiri.

Point is if that was the only intention of Chadil Deffy, why did he have to post the video of the ceremony with a provocative title "Corpse Bride." Does it not look like a blatant attempt to attract attention of multitudes with a shocking title and equally shocking act? What do the readers have to say about this act - Genuine lover or Attention seeker!!! Would love to know your opinion?

Chinese woman shun poor men and only date or marry the rich

Chinese women are increasingly becoming selective in dating, with vast majority of them openly preferring rich and well settled males than their poor counterparts.

Nearly 80 per cent of female respondents told a survey that men earning less than 4,000 yuan (RM2,047) a month should not start a relationship, state run China Daily reported today. More than a quarter of women polled expected to date men with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan or more.

The survey, polling more than 50,000 people nationwide aged from 20 to 60, was jointly conducted by the China Association of Social Workers and Baihe, a major dating and matchmaking website in China.

Female respondents regard having a stable income, savings and a house as the most important economic conditions for men they might consider marrying.

Less than six per cent of women said they did not care about the financial status of men.

As you know, lack of financial resources can caused marriage to break down. Do you call them realist or materialistic? It's your call.

Young Indian girl stood up against child marriages

Sapna Meena

Her fate looked sealed when her family began organizing the nuptial celebrations. But the bride-to-be, a shy schoolgirl from a remote village in western India, wasn't ready to say "I do."

In a region where patriarchy and age-old customs dictate a woman's life from birth to death, 15-year-old Sapna Meena in April joined a small but growing number of girls who are standing up against the widespread practice of child marriage in India.

"My family was in the midst of planning my wedding," recalled Sapna, her black hair pinned in a bun and a gold stud in her nose, as she sat on a step outside her home in Badakakahera village in Rajasthan state.

"My grandfather had decided that while he was alive he wanted to see that I get married and settled. I was scared to say anything against it at first.

"I went to my mother and told her I wanted to study more and get a job, and only after that would I get married," added the girl, who is from a subsistence farming community that ekes out a living by growing crops like wheat and maize.

But Sapna didn't stop there. She went to local officials in the city of Bhilwara -- some three hours by bus -- to seek advice and press home the point to her family that the legal age for marriage in India is 18.

The authorities played a mediating role and her family suspended the wedding plans. What's more, Sapna was awarded a certificate of gallantry by the government for being an "agent of change" in her community.

Gender rights activists say Sapna is proof that, through education and exposure to the modern world, girls are beginning to take decisions over their own lives and are helping to lift the curse of early marriage that has plagued India for centuries.
