Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen rank among the top three divorce rates in China. Recently released national civil affairs statistics show that in the first quarter of this year, a total of 465,000 couples in China registered for divorce, with an average of more than 5,000 families disintegrating every day. Relevant data show that Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen rank among the top three divorce rates. The recently released national civil affairs statistics for the first quarter of 2011 show that in the first quarter of this year, a total of 3.176 million couples registered for marriage in China, but the divorce rate also reached 14.6%. China's divorce rate has increased for seven consecutive years. Data show that the number of divorce registrations in 2007 was 3.204 million pairs, while the number of divorce registrations in the three years from 2008 to 2010 was 3.561 million pairs, 4.047 million pairs, and 4.516 million pairs respectively. It is worth noting that divorce syndrome is more prominent in first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. According to the Civil Affairs Statistics Quarterly Report for the third quarter of 2009, the divorce rates in Beijing and Shanghai reached 20.6% and 23.9% respectively. Gu Xiaoming, a professor at the Department of History at Fudan University, believes that as wealth has become the main indicator of success, both those who are successful in their careers and those who are struggling for their careers are busy with work and socializing, and ignore the necessary communication and communication with their partners. This is the "biggest invisible killer" of family disintegration. "Not to mention first-tier cities, in the mainland, people's views on marriage are changing, which is also prompting divorce to change from passive to active in the past," said Zou Xisheng, an expert in the rights department of the Women's Federation of Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province. "Today's couples are paying more and more attention to their relationships, rather than having to make do for children or survival." Some experts believe that in the process of changing views on marriage, traditional constraints such as organizations and public opinion are gradually lost, and new responsibilities and constraints are not well established, which is the crux of the rising divorce rate in Chinese society. At the same time, the low cost of divorce can also encourage imprudent divorce. At present, Lanzhou and Shanghai have piloted the "divorce reconciliation" mechanism, and "marriage and family counselors" have begun operations in many cities. These are powerful explorations of social treatment for marriage and family. Legal relief is also an important way of social treatment. Some scholars suggest that the Marriage Law should further strengthen the protection of the rights and interests of the vulnerable party and the non-fault party, such as clarifying the preferential relief for the non-fault party on issues such as property and child support, and changing vague standards into clear and operable standards.
