Since 2013, China's divorce rate has been climbing, with 4.2 million couples choosing to divorce in 2019 alone. In 2020 and 2021, more than 10 million couples in China will choose to divorce. Especially in first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, the divorce rate has reached more than 70%. The number of divorces in the country in the past two years has exceeded the number of divorces in the previous 10 years. At the same time, China's marriage rate and fertility rate have repeatedly set historical records.
The reasons for the high divorce rate in Our country are mainly the following two: First, the social and economic status of modern women is getting higher and higher. Today, more than 70% of divorces are initiated by women. Mainly because in the past, women's social status was not high, their economic ability was limited, they had to live on their husbands, and they could only live together. Now that women are more independent in terms of economy and have a higher social status, if they feel that the marriage is not happy, they will resolutely choose the road of divorce.
Second, modern men and women marry more hastily, they often flash marriage in a short period of time, the two sides do not know each other very well, and there is no emotional basis. The man often values the woman's beauty, while the woman values the man's solid family. In this case, if two people live together for a long time, some bad living habits will be exposed. Therefore, both parties felt that it was inappropriate and decided to divorce.
Probably many people think that divorce is not a very simple thing? Just go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the divorce procedures? This is also not the case, as this relates to the division of the joint property of both spouses. For example, the property and car purchased by one of the spouses before marriage are not the common property of the husband and wife, while if the property and car purchased during marriage need to be divided at the time of marriage. Therefore, many couples are now learning from the popularity in Western countries to notarize their property before marriage, so as not to cause disputes in case of divorce in the future.
However, the State Council has made new changes to the divorce policy, in which two new properties have also been included in the joint property of the husband and wife, in order to achieve maximum fairness and justice. First of all, the wages earned by both spouses are included in the common property, and according to the new policy, the remuneration obtained by both husband and wife through labor or investment will be included in the common property.
For example, before getting married, one of the spouses has an investment in a project. After getting married, the project can get a stable income every year. Then, from the day the couple got married, the subsequent investment income is counted as the joint property of the husband and wife. In the event of divorce, this part of the investment income is divided jointly and cannot be counted as the personal property of one party.
Moreover, in the New Deal, as long as there is a problem involving inheritance in the family, if the parents of one of the spouses write in black and white that the inheritance is given to the individual, then the property will not be included in the joint property, and if it is not stated that the inheritance was donated to the individual, then the property will be included in the common property. Of course, this issue is also controversial, and it has been suggested that the parents' inheritance, even if it is the wife or husband, cannot share this property, after all, it is a third-party gift, not the income of labor during the relationship between husband and wife.
The divorce rate in our country is now at an all-time high, mainly because of the increased social and economic status of women and their reluctance to live unhappy marriages on the spot. In addition, many men and women marry more hastily, men value the beauty of the woman, women value the man's family situation, and do not know each other, such a marriage divorce rate will remain high.
Of course, now that our country has re-regulated the common property of both husband and wife during the existence of marriage, everyone should understand it in time. It is hoped that The Chinese people should be cautious when getting married and divorcing, after all, divorce is not only a painful thing, but also involves the division of the common property of both parties.
