For Chinese women, having a job is important, but rich husband will do nicely

For Chinese women, having a good job is pretty important, but would love to find a wealthy husband to look after them.

New Delhi, Sept.11 : For Chinese women, having a good job is pretty important, but would love to find a wealthy husband to look after them.

A recent survey of women in Guangdong Province revealed that almost half would rather prefer to marry a rich man than get a good job.

At 45.2 percent, the figure is 8.9 percent higher than the country's average.

The survey showed many women are still very conservative in the province that borders Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions.

Women who are less educated have a stronger desire to marry rich men and rely on their husbands, the survey says.

The survey also revealed the number of rural women who said a rich husband was better than having a good job, was 11.7 percent more than their urban counterparts.

And 75.1 percent of the Cantonese women said they would continue to work even after they married rich husbands.

The figure is also nearly 13 percent lower than the country's average.

Most of the local women agreed that husbands should focus their efforts on work and social events while wives must spend much of their time on family and housework.

On the sex issue, men are slightly more lenient than women when it comes to forgiving infidelity. About 47.5 percent of women said they would excuse their husbands for being unfaithful once, compared to 50.3 percent of men.
