Chinese housewife received a round sum in the divorce, because well cleaned and cooked
A few days earlier, Chinese laws had allowed a local woman to get rich in an unusual way. Now the woman will receive almost 8 thousand dollars for cleaning the house. More details about the news that has become resonant, will tell "Site".
After 5 years of marriage, Chen and Wang decided to end their relationship. The husband of a Chinese woman filed for divorce. At the same time, his chosen one did not support this idea at first, but then agreed to terminate the marriage contract. But only on one condition: the ex-husband must pay her for all the years of cleaning the house. And this was not just a whim of a woman, but a court order.
In the end, the Beijing district court decided the case in favor of the ex-wife. Now the man is obliged to pay monthly not just maintenance $300, but a one-time compensation of $7,700 for housework.
"Well, was that possible?" The case came to that end thanks to a new civil code that came into force in China this year. Under the new law, after a divorce, a husband or wife has every right to claim compensation if he or she has greater responsibility for raising children, caring for elderly relatives, or helping a partner with work. Previously, such compensation could only be sought when a marriage contract was signed.
The case of the Chinese spouses caused a heated debate in social networks. Many considered the amount of compensation insufficient. “I am amazed. Full-time housewives are underrated. In Beijing, nanny labor alone costs more than 50,000 yuan ($8,000) per year, one comment said. Others pointed out that men should take on more domestic responsibilities. And some encouraged women to pursue careers after marriage. “Ladies, do not lose your independence. Don’t quit your job after you get married, don’t deprive yourself of a path to retreat.”
However, it is worth noting that according to statistics, Chinese women spend daily. 4 hours for unpaid work. This is about 2.5 times more than men.
