On June 9th, the People's Court of Yifeng County, Jiangxi Province, sentenced Hu, who was involved in the non support case and interfered with his mother's marriage, to pay the plaintiff Mrs. Chen a monthly living allowance of 45 yuan and 30 kilograms of rice (the rest of the living expenses will be paid by her other two daughters).
Mrs. Chen, aged 68, and her husband raised Hu and her three children through farming and hard work, and helped them arrange their marriage. My son Hu has established a livestock farm in the local area, while my two daughters have married off to other places. Last August, Mrs. Chen's husband, who was with her, passed away due to illness. As she grew old, Mrs. Chen had little harvest in her fields and could only rely on her children to pay for living expenses to make ends meet. The two daughters often send money to help Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen asks for living expenses from Mr. Hu, but often encounters obstacles. Kind hearted people introduced a spouse to Mrs. Chen, and after dating, the two elderly people had the idea of rekindling their friendship. After learning about it, Hu obstructed Mrs. Chen's remarriage on the grounds that it would damage her reputation. Unable to afford living expenses and unable to find a spouse or son, Mrs. Chen had no choice but to sue her son, Mr. Hu, in court. In court, Hu claimed that he could provide alimony, but the prerequisite was that his mother could not find a spouse.
After trial, the Yifeng County Court believes that supporting parents is the obligation that children should fulfill. The defendant Hu's condition of not finding a spouse as a condition for support violates relevant provisions of China's Marriage Law and is an unreasonable demand.
