In the past months, I have been seeing that high identical news happening on Chinese social media, news about if a woman is in an insecure, relationship, domestic violence issues, she wants to get a divorce, but the government’s new divorce policy makes divorce more difficult to achieve. I want to know more about the divorce rate and the country’s policy on divorce. maybe comparing with other countries. I found that when women decide to divorce, what they have to do is far more than signing a name and persuading each other to sign a divorce agreement. In China, a new policy forced couples to wait for 30 days so-called the divorce cooling-off period. After a series of evaluations from the Civil Affairs Bureau, they will determine whether the couple has a relationship problem that cannot be fixed before officially approving the divorce. After the 30 days have passed, couples can go to their local civil affairs bureau to apply a second time for their official divorce documents. I personally think that this move is a stupid failure. This policy makes it more difficult for many women who desire to get out of their marriages to achieve a divorce.

  1. This topic is interesting. It’s completely baffling, yet unsurprising that the government has great power over people who want to divorce. This new 30 day policy further instills a patriarchal system. The government clearly wants the oppressed to remain oppressed.
