What does “催婚 (cuihun)” mean in Chinese?
催婚 (cuīhūn)
verb / noun
To pressure someone (usually one’s children) to get married
This street interview asks young people how they 回应 (huíyìng), respond to, their parents' 催婚 (cuīhūn). 催婚 is the very real social pressure to marry, almost always from parents nudging adult children. It’s 催 (cuī) “to urge, to hurry” + 婚 (hūn) “marriage”. One young woman shrugs that 现在女性都比较独立 (women are independent now) and sees no need.
催 is a productive root: 催生 (pressuring you to have a baby), 催债 (chasing a debt), 催促 (to hurry someone along). Around 催婚 sits a whole vocabulary of Chinese family pressure: 相亲 (an arranged blind date) and the loaded term 剩女 (“leftover women”). The peak season is 过年, when relatives gather for New Year.
