IN the first court decision to come out of China's revised elderly welfare law, a woman who ignored her 77-year-old mother after quarreling with her has been ordered to pay her regular visits.
The decision by a court in Wuxi in Jiangsu Province was based on revisions to the law that took effect yesterday.
The elderly woman, surnamed Chu, took her daughter, surnamed Ma, and her son-in-law to court yesterday because they never visited her after she quarrelled with them.
Chu had signed an agreement appointing Ma and her husband to take care of her. But they didn't visit her, according to China News Service.
Based on the new law, the Beitang People's Court ordered Ma to visit Chu at least once every two months and on no fewer than two public holidays a year. The son-in-law was not included in the order.
The legislation is part of government efforts to address issues facing China's growing elderly population.
