Đứa bé nào có tội gì!

-----

The couple from Yangzhong, a city in Jiangsu province, was denied a divorce after claiming that neither of them could take care of their child, state broadcaster China Central Television reported Sunday. However, everything else — including property (tài sản) and individual debts — they had agreed to share.

While the mother said she wasn’t financially prepared to raise her daughter, the father said he wouldn’t be able to take care of her due to his frequent business trips.

The Yangzhong People’s Court on Thursday ruled that it would not allow the couple to separate due to the “lack of a proper placement” for the child.

The ruling (phán quyết) has received support from state media outlets as well as social media users. A commentary even went so far as to praise the verdict (bản án) as “a high point of humanity (nhân đạo) within the legal system (hệ thống tư pháp).”
