"David" is a 23-year-old Chinese politics student. Few friends know he is also a
homosexual looking for a lover in a society where even fellow gays are disgusted by their own behaviour. While in awe of the handful of gays who are daring to

There is no legal obligation to register your overseas marriage in New
Zealand, however you may do this if your marriage ceremony is witnessed by an authorised official from a New Zealand post. The only
advantage of registering your marriage in New Zealand is that a marriage certificate can be issued to you from New Zealand. This certificate does not replace the
marriage certificate supplied in China |
