BEIJING (Reuters) - A northern Chinese city has banned the use of “seductive” words like “foxy lady,” “handsome guy” and “moneybags” in marriage advertisements in a bid to stamp out fraud, domestic media reported Tuesday.
Many Chinese people still go to marriage brokers to arrange suitable life partners for their children, and often turn to adverts carried in newspapers, magazines and on the Internet.
But after a series of complaints from people who said they had been cheated — although how was not explained — Henan provincial capital Zhengzhou is reining in the industry, the Beijing News said.
