What kind of marriage are you going to get married like this?
Recently, the Supreme People's Court issued an interpretation on the application of the marriage and family section of the Civil Code to solicit opinions from the whole society.
In this exposure draft, the most controversial thing is the description of the object of protection.
Many netizens pointed out that the explanation clearly mentions the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of women, minors, the elderly, and the disabled in accordance with the law, but does not mention the rights and interests of men.
This makes people wonder, don't the legitimate rights and interests of men need to be protected by law in marriage and family?
In addition to the description of the object of protection, Articles 15 and 20 of the interpretation have also been widely questioned by netizens.
Article 15 stipulates the issue of alimony in the divorce agreement, which is mainly to protect minor children, and if one party does not bear the issue of child support after divorce, the minor can directly sue for assistance, and the people's court will support it in accordance with the law
However, some netizens believe that this provision may lead to one party coercing the other party to give up child custody through child support, thereby harming the rights and interests of men after divorce.
Article 20, on the obligation of the party with better economic conditions to help the other party after divorce, has been interpreted by some netizens as a disguised way for men with better economic conditions to compensate women, further exacerbating the problem of gender inequality.
It states that if after the divorce of the spouses, one of the spouses does not have enough property to support the basic life, then the other spouse is obliged to help, such as the free use of the house, the rent of the house, etc
What is even more difficult for men to accept is the provision of article 3 on the disposal of property during cohabitation.
This rule breaks the traditional notion that "property can only be divided by marriage", and makes some men worry that the property they have accumulated during cohabitation may be divided by the other party because of the breakup.
Article 3 stipulates that if they are not married but live together, if they break up, they shall each receive wages, bonuses, labor remuneration and other benefits during the period of cohabitation.
If both parties have jointly invested or purchased items, they will be divided according to the proportion of their respective contributions.
This concern is not unfounded, and is illustrated by practical examples. For example, in some cases, the husband and wife have lived together for many years without children, and the woman asks for the division of property in accordance with the divorce method at the time of the breakup
Some netizens believe that this regulation may lead to more and more people choosing to only live together and not get married, thus weakening the stability of the marriage system.
And Article 21 of the Marriage and Family Section of the Civil Code makes the majority of male compatriots feel heartbroken!
Its core content can be roughly summarized as follows:
There are no provisions for the protection of women's property
As long as the woman is pregnant with a child, whether it is biological or not, the divorced man still has to support her
The rest can be seen in the following picture:
It's outrageous after reading it!
However, this is still a draft for comments, and it has not yet been determined, and it is not known what the future holds
Finally, I would like to say that marriage is not child's play, and we still need to manage it with our hearts. Both men and women should cherish each other's feelings.
