Everything can be compromised in marriage, but divorce is very realistic. There is a wife surnamed Yao in Tai’an City, Shandong Province, China. She married her husband surnamed Su in 2013 and gave birth to a daughter, but she divorced in 2021. Unexpectedly, she was sued by her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law believes that during the marriage, the children are often taken care of by her, and hopes to get 100,000 yuan (about 440,000 NT dollars) in compensation. After the court hearing, the verdict was released.

It is understood that during the eight years of marriage between the couple, the husband surnamed Su has been working outside the home for many years, and Ms. Yao has to take care of the children after work. The mother-in-law often helps take care of the children, so she thinks that she should get reasonable compensation, so she sued the court. He admits that he is taking care of the child, but he has no obligation to raise the child. In addition, he is 60 years old, so he should be compensated financially for the effort and time spent in taking care of the child, and Yao is required to pay 100,000 RMB.

The court dismissed the mother-in-law’s claim. (Schematic diagram / flipped from pexels)

However, the court pointed out that although the marriage relationship between the two parties is not in existence now, the relationship between the children and their parents and grandparents is still there. The entanglements of the elders should not be added to the children, and the mother-in-law’s appeal should be rejected on the grounds of “loving and caring for the young”. .

After the news was exposed, heated discussions arose. Many netizens supported the verdict, “Is it not compulsory to raise children? You should sue your husband.” ?” However, some people think that asking for compensation is normal. “When a wife takes care of the family, she can ask for housework compensation, but it’s only natural for parents to take care of their children?”, “Mothers can ask for compensation when they divorce, but mother-in-law can’t. The whole family is speechless. The world is too hostile to men, another day of fear of marriage.”
