Outcry in China: ‘Where is my right to get divorced?’

China’s proposed changes to marriage and divorce regulations, including easing marriage registration but adding a 30-day cooling-off period for divorces, drew significant backlash. While the measures aimed to promote ‘marital freedom,’ the public expressed concerns about bigamy and questioned the right to a swift divorce. The Ministry of Civil Affairs is seeking comments on these revisions until September 11.
