Pass Laws to Keep Wives Of Chinese Soldiers True

So many soldiers’ wives in China are in desperate circumstances or have not heard from or about their husbands for such a long time that the national government recently passed a law to keep them from seeking another mate, says Collier’s. The penalties are six months’ Imprisonment or a SI,OOO fine for a spurious betrothal; three years’ imprisonment or a $3,000 fine for adultery; and seven years’ imprisonment or a $5,000 fine for a bigamous marriage.
