Maybe He'll Think Twice Before He Cheats - Song has new meaning in China

The economy in China is booming and reports indicate that the culture is facing challenges.  One challenge is the spike in marital infidelity, including taking a 2nd wife!

The Chinese government is not taking this lightly so they have a solution.  They are putting marriage records online so anyone in China can look up a name and see if they are lying about their marital status.

So, what's your opinion?  I can look at what my neighbor paid for their house.  Should I be able to easily look at everyone's and anyone's marital status?
