Marital infidelity has seen a drastic increase in the country of China. Due to vast economic development and a striking correlation to the prices of property the country has seen drastic increases in its divorce and remarriage rates. However, for the nation of China even with these drastic increases in divorce rate their numbers are relatively lower than their Western counterparts.
