Mothers to blame for rising housing prices?

BEIJING - Want to marry your girlfriend in China? Better buy a house first.

Facing ever-rising housing prices in China, only 18 percent of mothers told a recent survey they were willing to let their daughters marry men who only rent their homes.

The survey, by Beijing-based 5i5j Real Estate Service, was conducted in response to the debate on whether mothers-in-law are contributing to the rise in housing prices across the country.
