Divorce appeal rejected by court, a woman in Hunan has given birth to six consecutive daughters and is still required to have children. Judge | Birth | Court
Recently, a woman in Hunan gave birth to six daughters in a row but was still asked to have a son. Unable to bear the pain of childbirth, she fled back to her mother's house. On June 6, 2023, the woman appealed for divorce, but was rejected by the court. The court found that both parties had six daughters and the evidence submitted was insufficient to prove that the marital relationship had indeed broken down. Subsequently, the court issued a "family education order" against the six daughters, citing their lack of care and companionship. The incident sparked a heated discussion among netizens.
Recently, the People's Court of Chenxi County, Hunan Province, tried a divorce dispute. The plaintiff, Ms. Xiong, had six children in a row and was still required to have children. She appealed for divorce, but was rejected by the court. The presiding judge, Qin Mengsi, also issued a "family education order" against her.
According to the case description released on the WeChat official account of Chenxi County People's Court, the plaintiff Xiong met and fell in love with the defendant Ou, who was working abroad and registered for marriage on March 2, 2015. In fact, when Xiong and Ou registered their marriage, the plaintiff Xiong had already given birth to four consecutive daughters for the defendant Ou. After marriage, they also gave birth to a pair of twin daughters for the defendant Ou.
Due to the serious patriarchal mentality of the defendant Ou's family, they demanded that the plaintiff Xiong must have a boy. In October 2019, the plaintiff Xiong, unable to bear the pain of childbirth, fled back to his mother's house until now. On June 6, 2023, the plaintiff Xiong filed for divorce in court on the grounds of marital breakdown.
Judge Qin Mengsi, the presiding judge, found during the trial that the plaintiff Xiong had not returned home to take care of his six children since leaving home in October 2019, and had not paid any child support fees. He lacked care, education, and companionship for his six daughters. Xiong, as the guardian of the children, should fully fulfill his guardianship responsibilities and actively care for their psychological health, emotional needs, and learning situation, so that they can grow up healthy with the company, care, and care of their mother. According to the law, a family education order was issued against the plaintiff Xiong, stating: "Order you to actively learn family education knowledge, assume the main responsibility of family education, fulfill your guardianship duties, and assume the obligation to raise, educate, and protect underage children..."

Furthermore, based on the fact that both the plaintiff and defendant have already had six daughters, and the evidence submitted by the plaintiff is insufficient to prove that the marital relationship has indeed broken down, the court has lawfully rejected the plaintiff Xiong's lawsuit request.
Tan Youjuan, the director of the Family Education Guidance Center in Chenxi County, met with the plaintiff Xiong after the trial and provided him with psychological counseling and family education guidance. Tan Youjuan expressed sympathy for Xiong's plight, but Xiong also needs to take responsibility as an adult. It is precisely because he has not received good family education that he needs to do a good job in educating his children and avoid repeating his mistakes.
