HOUSEWORK COMPENSATION

Feb. 25, 2021

In a landmark judgment delivered weeks after China enforced its new civil code, a divorce court in Beijing has ordered a man to compensate his ex-wife for the housework she did during five years of marriage.

About:

The court has split their joint property equally, and ordered the man to pay around $7,700 to his former wife as “housework compensation”.
On January 1, the Chinese government brought into force a new civil code, which legal experts have described as offering greater protection for individual rights.
Before the new law came into force, such compensation could be demanded only in cases where a prenuptial agreement had been signed– in itself an uncommon practice.
