In response, the judge recommended that the chicken be divided into 14 chickens and the remaining one be eaten together as a sign of separation.
According to Chinese media Jimu News and Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, his wife Tu and husband Yang, who live in a village in Sichuan Province, recently filed for divorce.
The two have made a living by raising livestock, and Yang sometimes worked as daily workers.
Because they are from different villages, home ownership was attributed to each according to local regulations.
The property division dispute was caused by livestock, especially chickens.
According to the court, the couple raised a total of 53 livestock, of which 29 chickens, 22 geese, and 2 ducks were identified.
The goose and the duck were even, so they could be divided equally, but one chicken remained, causing the dispute.
His wife, Tu, insisted that he should take one more, saying that he raised the chicken himself and that he has a great emotional attachment.
On the other hand, her husband Yang raised an objection, saying that she also put a lot of time and effort into breeding.
The couple, who could hardly find a solution despite the family's mediation, eventually filed a lawsuit with the court.
In response, the judge in charge proposed two arbitration proposals.
One is to cook and eat the remaining chicken together, and the other is that the person taking the chicken compensates the other person for the money.
Eventually, the two agreed to cook and eat chicken together, and after eating, her husband Yang took his wife home on an electric bicycle.
The two promised to become financially independent after their divorce, but remain friends and help each other.
The netizen said, "The judge's arbitration was fair, but the real victim", "I wish the chicken would have made peace by sharing the chicken dish and not get divorced", which is a wise ruling that goes beyond the law." give a back reaction.
Meanwhile, the divorce rate in China is on the rise. More than 3.6 million couples reported divorces in 2023, a significant increase over 2022.
Under Chinese law, property acquired during marriage is considered joint property, and both parties have equal rights to divide.
