China has enacted a controversial new divorce law that redefines how marital property is divided. According to the revised guidelines, wives can no longer automatically claim a share of their husband’s property unless they have made a direct financial contribution to it. Assets acquired before marriage or solely by one party during the union are now more likely to remain with that individual after divorce. While the law aims to clarify property rights and prevent opportunistic claims, it has triggered heated discussions online. Critics argue it undermines the role of stay-at-home spouses who contribute through unpaid labor, such as raising children and managing households. On the other hand, supporters view it as a necessary step toward protecting individual ownership and encouraging clearer financial agreements before and during marriage. #ChinaDivorceLaw #MaritalPropertyRights #FamilyLawReform #MarriageEquality #LegalChanges
