“…In extending theories and frameworks developed in North America and Europe to China, it is also important to consider China's unique culture (Bruton et al, 2018). For example, a defining element of China's Confucian culture is its view of the basic unit of society as the family, and not the individual (Lang, 2010;Yu et al, 2015). As such, the family embeddedness perspective of entrepreneurship appears to offer much promise in explaining China's immense growth in entrepreneurship and the importance of family household diversity and family meals in explaining why individuals differ in their propensity to start a business.…”

“…The system of social and ethical values espoused by Confucianism has a significant influence on China's economic development (Du, 2016;Y. Yan et al, 2021), as it encourages individuals to honor the family through career ambition and occupational success (D. Y. F. Ho, 1996;Lang, 2010). Additionally, because it is common for multiple generations to co-habit in China (F. Zhang & Wu, 2021), this setting offers a unique context to apply the family embeddedness perspective to entrepreneurship.…”

Integrating the family embeddedness perspective with research on commensality and family meals, we develop a framework that explains why some families are more likely to fuel entrepreneurship than others. Inspired by the diversity literature and the role of the Chinese Confucian culture in shaping family dynamics, we explore how two demographic (i.e., age and gender) and two knowledge-based (i.e., education and industry) sources of diversity within family households predict a family member starting a business. We further theorize that these relationships are contingent on the frequency of family meals, as family meals serve as a conduit for how family diversity affects entrepreneurship by providing the setting where socialization and interaction take place. Using data from a representative sample of 8,162 individuals via the China Family Panel Studies in the 2014 to 2018 period, our findings demonstrate that although greater age and gender diversity hamper entrepreneurship, family meals “feed the fire” of entrepreneurship for families with greater industry and education diversity.

Sexual morality issues may arise due to the long-awaited pendency of divorce cases, the parties to the marriage may lead an immoral life because of their desperate relationship and find other ways to satisfy their sexual covet.…”

This research study explores the scope of introducing ‘irretrievable breakdown’ as a ground for divorce. Many developed countries have successfully introduced this ground and even removed the time limit with the passage of time for seeking a unilateral divorce. Some societies insist that if this ground is introduced, the number of divorces will increase, but it is not so. In India, a more than 10-years separation may be adopted as grounds for divorce to resolve this concern. This time period may be decreased if neither spouse has a child. The court can decide whether the marriage is ended. This is a comparative study of the laws on marriage in India and other Asian countries and their social effects. In this study, the researchers found that marriage was indissoluble in many countries a few decades ago and is now dissoluble. This paper discusses the concept of divorce and how it came into India with changes in social structure. The paper discusses the introduction of irretrievable breakdown as a ground for divorce in India. It explains the current situation of Asian countries with historical background to support the claim of this ground. Overburdened courts are not expected to look into the personal matter of the parties to the marriage. If parties to the marriage can live happily, they should choose to live peacefully, or amicable solutions can be found with their peer groups. If there is a deadlock, the parties to the marriage must restart their lives. There are certain precautions to remove the possibility of misuse of new grounds of divorce, e.g. ensuring a child's future, declaring the marriage dead by the court and not by the estranged spouses. Media can also play an essential role in saving marriages.
