Welcome to Asia, where young children are forced into a wedding with relatively older men or kids their age. It has been customary for influential families to keep their power and authority by forcing their family members to marry that of another.
A wedding is a ceremony where a man and a woman confess and celebrate their love for each other. It’s where you religiously take vows and promise to stay with each other throughout your lifetime.
However, this was not the case at a Chinese wedding where a young adult was seemingly forced to be wed to an elderly woman. In the video, netizens quickly observed the unwilling aura of the groom, making the wedding look like a complete set-up.
On the first video, the grandma was seen placing the wedding ring on the groom’s finger, and a silver necklace on his neck. The groom wore an absolutely sarcastic smirk as the elderly grabbed his arm and leaned her head towards his shoulder.
What’s really pathetic is that the old woman being very happy, despite the obvious and desperate financial objective of the groom.
On a separate instance, the groom was seen being forced by his wife-to-be to drink on the ‘cross-cupped wine.’ He never gave her a chance, but when faced with bundles of cash, he stood up.
The most frustrating part of these two videos, it’s the people in the video cheering as if they’re seeing a genuine marriage. They’re acting as if they don’t know the real intentions of the groom –which is to use her wife as a cash cow until her dying breath.
Is it possible for him to love the old woman back? Who knows? However, their relationship was founded on earthly motives, rather than genuine affection.

The morale of the story? It’s that there are things that money really couldn’t buy. Sure, you can take home with you the body of a person, but never his soul and willingness by using money as bait. Love unconditionally!
