It is not good if you give birth to a child immediately after marriage! Here you will have to pay heavy fine for becoming a parent ‘early’
China is always in the news for its strange policies and strict rules, but this time the matter is even more shocking. While on one hand the whole world and the central government of China itself are worried about the falling birth rate, on the other hand completely opposite news is coming out from a village in China. The local administration here has implemented such a rule that everyone is surprised to hear it. In this village, if a couple has a child ‘soon’ after marriage, they will have to pay a heavy fine.
What is this strange order?
Actually, the administration in this village has imposed a new rule in the name of family planning. According to this rule, it will be mandatory for newly married couples to wait for a certain time to become parents. If a couple gives birth to a child before the stipulated time limit, it will be considered a violation of the rules and a heavy financial penalty will be imposed on them. The administration argues that they want to control population growth in a systematic manner, but the local people do not agree with this argument at all.
Increasing anger and protest among villagers
As soon as this news came on social media and local news channels, people got angry. Villagers say that when to have a child should be their personal decision. With such orders, not only are people’s personal lives being interfered with, but financial burden is also being imposed on them. Many youth of the village say that on one hand the government is encouraging to have more children, while on the other hand such Tughlaqi orders are being issued at the local level due to which people are in a state of confusion.
Cleanliness of administration and future challenges
Seeing the matter gaining momentum, the local authorities have tried to give clarification, however, no concrete assurance has been given yet regarding the removal of the fine. Experts believe that even today in rural areas of China, local officials have a lot of power, which they often use to make such absurd rules. At present, this village has become a topic of discussion in the entire country and people are asking on social media whether now they will have to wait for government permission and date to celebrate.
