China imposes 'cooling-off' period for couples over divorces
Chinese courts have started imposing 'cooling-off' period for couples seeking divorces to give them time to reconsider, the Chinese state media reported. The move is aimed at controlling the increasing rate of divorces in the country. The 'cooling-off' period began as part of a two-year pilot program to reform hearings involving domestic disputes during which courts do not deliver verdicts.
