New Delhi: A divorce court in Beijing has ordered a man to compensate his wife for the housework she did during their marriage, in a landmark ruling that also triggered a debate on the value of domestic work.
According to the BBC, the woman will receive 50,000 yuan ($7,700 or Rs 5.6 lakh) for unpaid labour during their five-year marriage. The ruling comes after China introduced a new civil code which allows spouses to seek compensation in a divorce if they bear more responsibility in “childraising, caring for elderly relatives and assisting partners in their work”, the BBC reported.
