As the State grants you permission to marry, so the State can grant you a divorce. Religion, naturally, has nothing to do with it.

China is officially an atheist country, but you are free to exercise your religion. Religion will not prevent you from marriage in China. They don't ask because they don't care as long as your not disturbing social stability.

They will only recognize it as a civil marriage. You would have to have one that would be accepted by the Church back home for the church's blessing.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
