Throughout Asia, marriage behaviour and family life are changing. Young people are
getting married later than previous generations. Couples have fewer children, and more
married women are working outside the home. Such trends were first observed in Japan and
more recently in South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore. Similar patterns are starting to
emerge in other Asian countries. However, other aspects of family life in Asia are still quite
different from the way family institutions have developed in the West. Fewer Asian couples
live together outside marriage, and childbearing outside marriage is extremely rare.

Marriage is generally viewed as a permanent arrangement, and divorce rates, although
rising, are still quite low in most Asian societies. The traditional family structures of
Southeast Asia are more varied. Among the large populations of Indonesia, Malaysia, the
Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, young couples typically establish their own
independent households, or a man may move in with his wife's parents, at least for a while.
At marriage, the husband's family often makes a gift to the family of the wife. Although
most young couples establish a home of their own, the youngest daughter and her husband
may stay with her parents to look after them in their old age and eventually inherit their
property.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42
Nepal has made important progress over the past few years to promote equality, but the
country still has one of the highest rates of child marriage in the world. 41% of Nepalese
girls are married before the age of 18.
Poverty is both a cause and consequence of child marriage in Nepal. Girls from the
wealthiest families marry 2 years later than those from the poorest, who are seen as an
economic burden, and who drop out of school and earn little money.
Food insecurity plays an important role too. Nepalese families that do not have enough
food to eat are more likely to marry their daughters at a young age to decrease the financial
burden. One study shows that 91% of people who had secure access to food married over
the age of 19.

 Dowry is also common practice in many communities. Parents marry their daughters as
soon as possible because the money they have to pay to the groom’s family is higher if their
daughter is older. Since 2010, the legal age of marriage is 20 for both men and women, or
18 with parental consent, according to the Nepalese Country Code.
The law states that punishment for child marriage is imprisonment for up to three years
and a fine of up to 10,000 rupees (£102). But reports suggest that this law is rarely applied.
There has been quite a lot of progress in Nepal over the past 3 years with a clear
government commitment to ending child marriage and civil society cooperation. The
Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare is currently developing Nepal’s first
national strategy on child marriage in collaboration with UNICEF Nepal and Girls Not
Brides Nepal. However, the post-earthquake and post-fuel crisis environment has meant
progress is slow and the national strategy has been delayed.
