Oh! No More Divorces. It's Recession.
According to numbers, it's now been believed that the current economic crises have helped to strengthen the bond between, apparently helping the family to come closer. According to officials at the Shanghai Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, 36,811 couples filed for divorce at the city's civil affairs department in 2008, which is 284 less than in 2007.
And officials seem to quite agree to the explanation. "People tend to look for stable relationships and cherish their families more during economic turmoil," said Zhou Jixiang, an official with the bureau. And there are others who corroborate the same. Tang Jian'an, a divorce lawyer, says, "They, mainly men, have to focus more on saving their businesses and have no time to tend to family crises".
He adds: "Even when they do, they will try to reach an agreement on property, children and support issues, because filing for a divorce takes time and they just don't have that much time for that."
Jia Mingjun, another divorce lawyer in Shanghai, has reported a similar trend. Another, quite an interesting revelation that has been unravelled is the apprehension among parents for having to spend a hefty sum of money to upkeep their wards.
Fan Wenjia, a lawyer in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, says, "When I told them how much more they need to pay for children or a loan every month, and how much they need to pay for the divorce, they withdrew the decision."
