China has introduced a new divorce law with the aim of making marriage registration easier and divorce proceedings more challenging. This includes a 30-day "cooling-off" period for couples to consider their decision before finalizing a divorce. The new law also shifts property division during divorce based on who paid for it, rather than equal division, potentially impacting women's property rights.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Easier Marriage, Harder Divorce:
Marriage:
The revised law aims to simplify the marriage registration process, removing regional restrictions.
Divorce:
A 30-day "cooling-off" period is introduced, allowing couples to reconsider their decision to divorce. If either party changes their mind during this period, they can withdraw the divorce application.
2. Property Division Changes:
Ownership based on payment:
The new law dictates that whoever paid for a property generally retains ownership, even if the other spouse's name was added to the title after marriage.
Gifts to the husband:
Property gifted to the husband by his parents will not be considered shared matrimonial property and will remain his property after divorce.
3. Impact and Controversy:
Gender inequality concerns:
Critics argue the changes disproportionately affect women, making it harder for them to leave potentially abusive or unhappy marriages.
Goal of promoting marriage and family:
The law is intended to encourage marriage and family stability in the face of declining marriage rates and birth rates.
Social media backlash:
The new law has drawn criticism on Chinese social media, with some expressing frustration about the increased difficulty of divorce.
4. Other aspects of divorce in China:
Mutual agreement:
Couples can divorce by mutual agreement, requiring a written agreement signed by both parties and filed with the Civil Administration Department.
Litigation:
Divorce can also be pursued through legal proceedings if a mutual agreement cannot be reached.
Grounds for divorce:
Chinese courts consider factors such as adultery, domestic violence, abandonment, and persistent bad habits when deciding whether to grant a divorce.
Child custody:
Both parents retain custody of their children after divorce, unless there are extenuating circumstances.
Spousal maintenance:
There is generally no spousal maintenance awarded in China after divorce, unless agreed upon by the parties.
JUST IN: Kamala Harris loses it after Bret Baier calls her out for not protecting the southern border.
The moment came after Baier called out Harris for ending Trump's strong border policy.
"May I please the ... may I finish... may I finish responding..."
MUST WATCH: The last time Kamala ran for President, she told David Muir that she would use executive orders for gun control.
Even Biden was telling her that it wasn't constitutional. She just laughed at him.
BREAKING: Kamala Harris revealed that she and Tim Walz own guns, and she has never supported a mandatory gun buyback
FACT CHECK: In an interview, she said, "We have to have a buyback program, and I support a mandatory buyback program."
I'm FACT CHECKING her because those treasonous losers on ABC won't
It has been 50 days since Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party.
In the dead of night yesterday, she finally released her campaign policy page. Here's what I think of it 🧵
I asked ChatGPT the following.
Imagine a modern poltical party.
Imagine that all you know about it is the following:
It champions rights for state sponsored schools over the rights of the parents on behalf of their own children.
It promotes equality of outcome over a level playing field.
It is concerned that unfeterred speech is a threat to the safety of the population.
It supports candidates chosen by party leaders rather than the people via primary elections.
It celebrates choices for irreversable self-sterilization via reproductive surgical mutilation within the K-12 curriculum.
It does not want people to have to show ID to vote.
Q: To which political parties is this unspecified party most similar worldwide and throughout history?
@jakeshieldsajj Patrick Buchanan said the same thing and blamed Churchill for the war in his book “Churchill, Hitler, and ‘The Unnecessary War’: How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World”
🚨 WOW! Kamala Harris is literally threatening to unilaterally CONFISCATE citizens’ and businesses’ private property
“I will snatch their patent, so that we [the government] will take over. Yes we can do that!”
THIS IS WHAT LITERAL DICTATORS DO.
Comrade Kamala wants to turn America into a communist hellhole, and she’s OPEN about it.
This should terrify EVERYONE!
