As honeymoons go, they do not get much briefer than this, but when the bride is a 13-year-old girl from southern China who has been ordered to go back to school, you can understand why it was suddenly cut short.
The 13-year-old got married to a 17-year-old boy in a formal ceremony based on local customs last week after they had a romantic relationship for more than a year, the Guiyu township government in Shantou, Guangdong province, said in a statement over the weekend.
By Chinese law, a man has to be at least 22 years old to get married and a woman at least 20. The pair now plan to get an official marriage registration when they are old enough, as many child couples do in rural China.

Thanks for your info. His generation should be at least born in the 1940s. As for now, is hard to have polygamy as a chinese as the chinese wife will be suing her husband for inheritance.
