Correction

Today I read a story that described about the situation of marriage markets in villages of China. The detail was:

Before, people chose induced abortion. Ok, it was their right to do it, but now they want to get a woman to join their families. But where are they? Their daughters-in-law have now been lying underground for almost twenty years.

Before, they wanted to have a son. It was ok, but on the other side, how many girls were killed?

Nowadays they hope their son gets married, but how can they find many girls?

It is now needed that they pay their whole income to a woman’s family to marry her.
