The traditional Chinese divorce process is quite interesting. A Chinese marriage can be dissolve in following three ways.

The first way is No-fault divorce in which the fault of either party does not require and the marriage may be dissolved due to personal incompatibility but a divorce note is required from husband.

The second way of divorce is through a state-mandated annulment of marriage. This way applies when one of spouse commits a serious crime. However it should be based on the seven reasons to give divorce in this method. For example if wife fails to bear a son, she is vulgar or lewd, she is jealous, she has got a vile disease, she is not good with her in-laws, she is gossipy or she commits a theft.

However unilateral divorce can be disallowed under the following conditions.

Wife has no family to return.

She had observed a 3-years mourning for parents in-law.

Her husband was poor at the time of marriage and now he is rich.
