Marriages in India and China share some similarities but also have key differences. In India, divorce rates are extremely low at 1.1% compared to 50% in the US, and weddings represent the union of two families in a traditional ceremony that takes place outdoors. In China, marriage traditionally involved six rituals including matching birthdays and gift giving selected by families, though now women can choose partners. Indian wedding attire includes saris for brides and long shirts for grooms, while Chinese weddings feature cheongsam dresses with phoenix prints for brides and black silk coats for grooms.
