According to the South China Morning Post, Zhang and Li, who live in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in southern China, recently had a divorce trial over property division.
The couple married in 1985 and signed a so-called 'DutchPay' contract in 2006 to split all expenses, including living expenses, in half.
Then, in 2015, they began separating while maintaining their marriage.
Jang, her husband, who decided to divorce in January this year, demanded his wife pay half of the debt, saying she owed 110,000 yuan (about 21 million won) during her marriage.
When his wife, Lee, refused to accept this, Jang requested a trial.
At the same time, he submitted all kinds of claims that occurred from 1986 to 2015 as evidence.
It is shocking by including 'audit expenses' and 'nutritional expenses' for vasectomy received in 1990.
Also on the bill were labor costs, TV and furniture purchases, and expenses that my wife helped me wash the dishes during the holidays.
In response, the court rejected her husband's claim, saying that the couple signed a 'DutchPay' contract in 2006, but that there was no direct evidence that the debt was caused by the items Jang claimed.
In addition, she criticized her husband Jang's 'mocking' behavior and judged that "It is against public order and morality".
Netizens who heard the news said "Why don't we just get divorced?", "It's ridiculous to charge my wife for a vasectomy.", Criticistic responses such as "'I wonder what you would have done if either of you were sick or hospitalized.'"
