Example text
Interestingly, the traditional practice of the bride moving into her husband's home or village was reinforced informally by local authorities during this period. Because some collectives were wealthier than others, with better land and a more favorable land/population ratio, freedom for either husband or Page 13 wife to change residence upon marriage would result in an undesirable flow of persons from poorer to richer collectives, where individual earnings were higher. By enforcing the traditional pattern, a more balanced movement between collectives was obtained.
The family was thus a cohesive unit economically as well as socially, but one strengthened to the extent that it owned property. Once again, there can be seen the tie between the internal economic forces making for family unity and the family's social standing in the community: the property relationships fostering familial solidarity also provided it with status in society at large. Family Division and the Family Cycle In China, marriage as such did not lead to the creation of a new family; rather, it usually meant that the bride moved into her husband's family unit (in a family in which there were no sons, a daughter might be joined by her husband).
However, it was collectivization that only a few years later provided an enduring context which encouraged the very developments called for by the new code. Thus during the period of collectivization the weakening of family bonds was linked to the transfer on a major scale of the individual's sources of security and livelihood from his family to his collective unit. However, most parents remained deeply involved in the marriages of their children, even if they had become acquainted on their own.
