Written before International Women's Day. The Civil Code provides for the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of women. Women tend to take on more housework and are in a relatively economically disadvantaged position, so in divorce proceedings, women have the following legal rights:
1. Divide the common property and take care of it. There is not an absolute equal distribution of common property, it is the care of the children, the woman and the innocent party. That is, the principle of taking care of the woman divides the joint property of the husband and wife, and the man suffers a little in this regard, but this is reasonable.
2. Receive compensation for housework. Because of her physical and psychological characteristics, the woman has the right to ask the other party for compensation because of her physical and psychological characteristics, in raising children, taking care of the elderly, and assisting the other party in her work, and has sacrificed and her income is not reflected.
3. Get help with difficulties in life. The other party who has difficulties in living and can afford it shall give appropriate assistance. Therefore, if the woman does not have a house after the divorce, she can ask the man to help her with living difficulties. But it is not natural to infringe on the man's personal property.
4. Obtaining damages. In real life, while the woman is engaged in housework, she will worry about the husband's bigamy, cohabitation, domestic violence, abuse, abandonment of family members and other major faults, and the woman will be vulnerable and difficult to obtain evidence and claim compensation. But in any case, the woman has the right to claim damages, please pay attention to retain the evidence, and if necessary, seek help, you can investigate and collect evidence, such as written evidence such as records and punishments, which are also authoritative.
5. Property shall not be infringed upon. Because the husband is engaged in many economic activities and has economic control, it is convenient to hide, transfer, sell, destroy and squander the joint property of the husband and wife. In the case of divorce and division of the joint property of the husband and wife, the husband may receive a small or no share. In addition, Article 1082 of the Civil Code (Amendment) stipulates that "a man shall not file for divorce during pregnancy, within one year after childbirth, or within six months after the termination of pregnancy." This restriction does not apply if the woman files for divorce, or if the people's court deems it necessary to accept the husband's request for divorce."
