The disparity in marriage timing between migrants and non-migrants in China has been detected. One of the explanations for this inequality is the  hukou  status. Yet, this explanation neglects a special type of migrants: those who have earned a local  hukou . This study specifies non- hukou  migrants,  hukou  converters, and local residents in Shanghai, and compares their marriage timing and pathways. Using discrete-time event analyses, this study finds that both non- hukou  migrants and new Shanghainese ( hukou  migrants) are more likely to have a delayed marriage than their local counterparts, showing that  hukou  preference is not the sole explanation for marital inequality in China. Further estimations reveal that new Shanghainese spend a longer time entering a network-introduced marriage while they exhibit no difference in the timing of self-initiated marriages than local Shanghainese. The results indicate that  hukou  migrants are not deprioritizing marriage, but they lack social connections to the local marriage market. Non- hukou  migrants encounter double disadvantages of lacking a local  hukou  and local social connections. Social networks are an alternative lens other than the  hukou  status to understanding marital disparities among migrants and non-migrants in China.
