Chinese Relatives Marry & Divorce Each Other 23 Times In 1 Month To Attain Govt Property

In a bizarre incident in China, relatives of a family got married and divorced 23 times to each other to take advantage of the country’s property rights.

According to sources, China’s property rules dictate that if a house be demolished for development, each member of the household would be entitled to 40 square-metre of space of the new development.

That is when Mr. Pan, the accused, came up with a plan. When his house in Lishui was to get demolished for new development, he remarried his wife. That way, she became a part of the household, thereby earning 40 square-metre of land.

Mr. Pan then went on to divorce her 2 weeks later and married his sister-in-law, who again earned another 40-square-metre of land. This way, members of his family married each other 23 times in total in 1 month and divorced all the women to acquire more space!

Government authorities suddenly discovered that the house was home to 13 people. When they got hold of their plan, officials arrested 11 members of the family for property scam.
