Kuiyu Tang, a sociologist at Harbin Institute of Technology, wrote in his research paper on tongfu and tongfu groups: "At present, there is no special research on tongfu in China, so there is no unified and accurate investigation and statistics on the number of tongfu groups. However, it can be inferred that the number of wealthy groups in China can reach 2 million to 4 million, which is the most conservative estimate. "
It is estimated that the marriage of homosexuals in China involves about 40 million heterosexuals, and the number of concubines is not small, but it will definitely be less than concubines. 20 15 the latest survey report on gay groups working in LGBT shows that the number of lesbians coming out is twice that of gay men. There is a legal gap in the phenomenon of same husband.
Tongfu's situation is very difficult. Their number is not small, just because men interact and complain less on the internet than women, and some husbands don't realize their husbands' identity and so on. And the same husband group does not appear in the network like the same wife group.
Most social studies focus on the same wife.
Most husbands will choose to be silent in pain, or choose to continue suffering in asexual marriage, or choose to break up sadly and heal themselves. Only some wives and husbands bravely say "no" to gay spouses and take up legal weapons to safeguard their rights and interests. However, in actual judicial practice, judges are often distressed that they cannot find a legal basis to solve such marriage disputes.
In China, homosexuality is not recognized by the mainstream society, and most homosexuals enter traditional marriages. Among them, many gay men and lesbians get married to protect each other and maintain a "formal marriage".
If a divorce occurs because one of the husband and wife is found to be gay after marriage, the court will basically decide to divorce, but usually it will decide to divorce on the grounds that the relationship between husband and wife is broken or cannot be established.
