Friendship marriages are legal unions between two people who prioritize platonic relationships over romantic or sexual intimacy. Couples share a life, often cohabitating, but their bond is built on mutual respect, values, and emotional support and stability.
Worldwide, young people are increasingly exploring relationship arrangements beyond traditional marriage norms.
In China, a growing number of young people are choosing to buy houses and live with close friends.
Marriage lawyer Zhao Li uses a common Chinese saying, “More than friends, less than lovers” to describe friendship marriage and emphasises the importance of signing a prenuptial agreement.
“Although a non-sexual marriage might not be for everyone, it is not necessarily unhealthy or abnormal,” said Ma Xiaonian, a Chinese doctor with more than 30 years experience in sex education and relevant research.
