摘 要：Objective To investigate the links between wives＇ marital happiness and premarital sex and related consequences in Shanghai during 1980s Methods About 8 000 newly married couples were followed up at the 3rd and 15th month after their marriage. Results About 12% of them reported premarital intercourse. This proportion was higher among less educated couples with blue-collar jobs. About 63% of the sexually active caused pregnant before marriage. Most pregnancies were legitimised by marriage but 1/4 ended in induced abortion. Over 3/4 （78%） of wives reported that they were happy with the marriage in general, while 72% of wives were happy with the sexual aspects of their marriage. Results showed a strong relationship between marital happiness and the occurrence of a premarital abortion. Less educated and latearring women were more likely to assess their marriage neutrally or negatively.
