李银河：婚姻制度有可能消

她研究①的是家庭、婚姻、性别与性，但她最为社会关注，也最引起争议的是她频频“出位”的言论；她的话经常被媒体引用，在网络上，叫好声一片，但也常板砖四起。她是李银河，著名社会学家，王小波的妻子②。
 1月14日上午9点半，湖南首届“爱文化”论坛在长沙举行。李银河教授与著名作家浮石等一起交流③探讨了社会转型时期你所知道和不知道的“爱文化”。　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
 现场，李银河围绕“爱情是什么，我对爱情的理解，未来的爱情”三点进行了演讲。李银河认为，爱的发生与生活质量和人们生活方式密切相关。李银河说，“未来爱情是一种更自由的爱情，所谓自由④，是承认差异和多元的。”李银河说，从爱的形式上看，未来的爱情将会在更大程度上挣脱婚姻制度的束缚，婚姻制度有可能走向消亡，“之所以有婚姻，一个是为了养育子女，另一个是为了继承私有财产，如果财产有其他方法处置，由同居者来共同抚育子女，那么婚姻制度就有可能消亡⑤。”

Li Yinhe: The Institution of Marriage May Die Out
Her research is about family, marriage, sexual distinction and sex. But she's mostly concerned with her brave speeches that are often cited by the media. On websites, she sometimes gets both positive and negative feedback.
She's Li Yinhe, a famous sociologist and wife of the late, famous Chinese writer Wang Xiaobo.
Li spoke at a symposium on the "Culture of Love" in Changsha, capital of central China's Hunan Province, on January 14. Together with writer Fu Shi, she talked about the "culture of love" during the social transition period.
Li delivered a speech entitled "What is love, My understanding of love, Future love." She said she considered love to be closed related to people's quality of life and lifestyles.
"In the future, love will be more of a kind of free love," Li said. "The so-called freedom will allow for differences and multiple elements."
Li said looking at the forms of love, in the future love would break through the boundaries of marriage to a large extent, causing marriage as an institution to die out.
"The existence of marriage is to raise children and inherit fortunes," Li said. "If there's another way of dealing with fortune and cohabitating which together can bring up children, then marriage as an institution will die out."
