A woman in China has announced the divorce of her 73-year-old grandma on mainland social media to encourage more women to leave unhappy relationships, whatever their age.
The woman from southern China’s Guangdong province, who uses the name Chris on Xiaohongshu, said she accompanied her grandmother to finalise her divorce on February 3.
Chris said her grandfather was cheating on her grandmother, which finally helped her make the decision to leave him after decades of unhappiness.
The woman in her 20s said she was the only one who supported her grandma’s decision.
To file for divorce, the woman needed her household registration booklet, which was at her daughter’s home.
Her son-in-law refused to give her the document and called her a “lunatic”, but relented when she told him how painful it was for her in the marriage.
