摘要

Abstract

An increasing number of urban young women are exhibiting hesitation and fear toward marriage

a phenomenon that reflects the reconstruction of gender norms amid modern societal transformation. The conflict between traditional marital institutions and contemporary female subjectivity

the dissemination of negative marital narratives in social discourse and media

disharmony and expectations within family of origin

as well as personal self-perception and emotional experiences

collectively contribute to urban young women perceiving marriage as a life choice requiring cautious evaluation. To mitigate this issue

it is necessary to promote the modernization of marital concepts

optimize the online information environment

improve social support systems

foster harmonious family dynamics

and enhance self-awareness and psychological adaptability

thereby strengthening women's confidence in facing marriage.
