This sets a legal precedent that should strike FEAR in the heart of every lazy husband or wife around the world. A woman in Beijing, China who's only been identified as Wang just took her ex-husband to court and demanded compensation for all the housework she did during the five years they were together. She says she took care of their child and did all the housework alone, and her husband, quote, "barely cared about or participated in any kind of domestic chores." And . . . she won. The court ordered her ex to pay her $7,700 in, quote, "housework compensation" plus $300 per month in support.
