Federation sees more women seek advice on divorce

ALMOST 1,000 women contacted the Shanghai Women’s Federation for advice on divorce in the first half of this year.

This accounted for 30 percent of the total marriage and family disputes dealt with by the group, and was up more than 3 percentage points from last year.

The federation said the main reasons these women were seeking a divorce was because their husbands were violent, had drinking or gambling problems or were having affairs.

Among young couples, constant arguments and a lack of understanding were other reasons leading to divorce, said the federation.

The group also received 112 cases of disputes between cohabiting couples.

As more young people choose to live together, disputes over custody of children and division of property occur if they break up.
