Attitude toward sex, pregnancy changing

However, Jiang said the high rate of pregnancy outside marriage among migrant workers also indicates that China should work harder to educate this group about safe sex and popularize measures of contraception.

Chen Wei, a lawyer at Beijing Yingke Law Firm specializing in marital affairs, said on Tuesday she has noted an increase in legal disputes related to pregnancy before marriage. Chen warned that women's rights are more vulnerable in cases where they get pregnant before marriage.

"It's very difficult to ask the child's father to give child support without official marriage registration in cases where the couples break up," she said.

"Some women resort to abortion, which hurts their health in varying degrees and in extreme cases can result in infertility."
