In addition, criticism is mounting against the court for refusing to file for divorce due to domestic violence.
According to the Chinese media Shanghai Morning Post and the Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, a woman named 'Chen' who lives in Sichuan Province recently filed for divorce, claiming that her husband 'Li's domestic violence caused the marital relationship to collapse.
Chen, who has been married for 20 years, claimed that she used violence when her husband was drunk.
However, the court did not grant the divorce. This is because the couple still have a 'deep emotional bond' and reconciliation is still possible.
It was also considered that Lee, her husband, did not want a divorce.
Chen, who expressed dissatisfaction with the ruling, immediately appealed.
However, in the appeal trial, Lee became emotionally unstable and eventually ran out of the courtroom with his wife, Chen, on her back.
Court enforcement officers stopped Chen as he began screaming in fear while he was being dragged away.
On the 12th, Lee wrote a letter of apology, acknowledging his excessive behavior and promising not to do so again.
He was so emotionally excited that he could actually divorce his wife. In defiance of the instructions of the court and court officials, she was taken out of the courtroom" admitting my mistake and repenting for my mistake. There will be no such mistake in the future."
Eventually, according to court arbitration, the couple did not divorce. Chen decided to give Li another chance to stay married.
Complaints continued online about the court's decision.
Netizens are asking "How can I not allow a divorce in this situation?", "What does it mean that the relationship is not broken? Is it only acceptable if someone dies?", "My wife's determination is also great."
Meanwhile, in China, 30% of married women are said to have experienced domestic violence.
