To avoid property disputes between their children, the two elderly people had been living in a "walking marriage" manner. However, five years later, the father wanted to remarry his ex-wife, which greatly dealt a blow to the mother-in-law. Yesterday, an elderly woman over 60 years old came to the Women's Federation of the city for help, demanding compensation for mental distress from her father.
Grandma Wang Qiujue (a pseudonym), 64 years old this year, raised her two daughters all by herself after losing her husband in her early years. In 2003, I met my father Pan Yong, who was two years younger than me. The two elderly people soon fell in love. By this time, Pan Yong had been divorced for three years. His son and daughter had both started their own families, and he was living alone at that time.
To avoid disputes over property between the children of both sides or disputes over support after remarriage, the two elderly people reached an agreement: to walk through marriage without obtaining a marriage certificate and to live together in their old age.
Last June, Pan Yong's grandson was born. Since then, he has been in frequent contact with his ex-wife. Over time, he completely ignored Wang Qiujue's existence and has been living a happy and harmonious life with his ex-wife's family. Last week, after Wang Qiujue made a big fuss, Pan Yong said he would remarry his ex-wife.
The person in charge of the Rights and Interests Department of the Municipal Women's Federation said that the elderly's "walking marriage" is not protected by law, just like the cohabitation of young people. It is understandable that many elderly people choose walking marriage, but from the perspective of elderly care needs and love, it is best for the elderly to register for remarriage. Before remarrying, it is advisable to sign an agreement that clearly stipulates the property, the relationship with children, the retirement and medical care of both parties, etc. Such an agreement is more conducive to protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly.
