Chinese netizen debate on China’s new marriage law.
You’ve heard of “no-fault divorce”, but how about “no-benefit marriage”? That’s right—China’s new 2025 marriage law has shaken up the institution of marriage itself. Some people are cheering, while others are rethinking marriage altogether.
Let’s start with what’s been setting social media on fire.
This woman bluntly said:
“I heard that with the new marriage law, even if a woman gets divorced, she won’t get a share of the post-marital assets. So maybe women should just stop getting married altogether. Now, even having children isn’t considered a contribution anymore. How about we just find three fathers, have three kids, and let each child inherit from their respective father? We’ll just focus on raising them ourselves.”
And before you jump to conclusions, she later clarified in the video description: “Just kidding.”
