摘要

After equally dividing community property with her husband, a housewife in Fujian Province received an additional 550,000 yuan ($85,000) in "household labor compensation." The verdict was made by a local court in July. It is one of several cases nationwide that saw housewives receive divorce compensation for additional domestic duties this year, thanks to an article in China's Civil Code, the civil law promulgated last year that went into force on January 1. The woman in this particular case, who had married to her husband for more than 20 years, obtained higher compensation than other such cases earlier this year, in which the housewives got between 15,000 yuan ($2,320) and 120,000 yuan ($18,550).
