The dominance of the malein the relationship between husband and wife is one of the main factors; and theabsolute power of mother-in-law is one of the main factors in the relationship betweenmother-in-law and daughter-in-law; and in the relationship between parent and kid, theparent-child relationship confusion brought about by cultural differences is theimportant challenge for the Mongolian and Chinese intermarried families.
