Walking marriage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walking marriage is a widely-used misnomer for the sort of romantic and sexual relationships embedded in the culture of, especially, the Mosuo ethnic minority of China. They call it tisese, which translates literally as "walking back and forth". The traditional culture is strongly matrilineal and matrilocal. The women open their doors to their lovers every evening, and the men walk home to work in their mother's household every morning. A man is responsible for supporting his sisters' children.
