Graduate Prior to Marriage

In the province of Fujian, the Pinghe County has implemented a new ruling for their citizens there.

If you want to obtain work permits, driver's licenses or even to get married, first of all, you MUST HAVE a junior high or middle school diploma. Reason of implementing such ruling is to stamp students from dropping out of schools as they wished and to maintain high literacy rate in the county.

Sadly, the county government doesn't take into consideration of the poor folks who were unable to continue to fund their school-going children any further. Thus, it will cause such school-going children to be jobless and unmarried in future. Really weird ruling where common sense doesn't prevail at all.

And when someone intended to re-register to study for the diploma, they were forced to pay money before they can get admission. Such rulings allowed local government to manipulate the situation at the cost of the citizens. (source: Danwei)
