A woman shows a friend the cloth she has bought to make clothes for her wedding.
The text under the image:
Today, women are not only able to participate in labor like men, but they have also gained economic independence and can arrange their marriages according to their own wishes. This is the infinite happiness and protection that the great Constitution and the Marriage Law have brought to women.
The picture shows a young girl returning from the market town with new clothing material for her wedding, and her companion is praising her for her happiness.
今天的妇女不仅能够同男子一样去参加劳动,也取得了在经济上的独立地位,婚姻大事也同样能够随自己的心愿去办理。这是伟大的宪法和婚姻法给妇女带来的无限幸福和保障。
画面上是一个年轻的姑娘,从集镇上回来,带来了她出嫁的新衣料,她的女伴正为她的幸福而赞美。
