Court-ordered housework compensation heats up social media By Cao Yin | chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2021-02-24 21:08
A recent ruling that ordered a man to pay 50,000 yuan ($7,700) to his ex-wife as compensation for her housework during their five-year marriage has been heatedly discussed among the public after it was reported by Chinese media this week.
The ruling was made by Beijing Fangshan District People s Court in accordance with the Civil Code, which took effect Jan 1.
Under the code, a spouse who takes more responsibility for raising children, caring for elderly family members or assisting with household chores can apply for compensation from his or her partner when they divorce.
