‘What about the kids?’ Hong Kong’s high divorce and remarriage numbers reveal changing attitudes to family
(南華早報 2023-08-04 09:00:00)The make-up of families in Hong Kong has changed rapidly over the past three decades as more couples break up and divorcees remarry, creating challenges at every level of society.
In the first of a two-part series, the Post asks what couples should consider before tying the knot, how marriages can be made stronger and how to ensure children’s well-being.
Hongkonger Sally Cheung Siu-lai thought she was just a step away from “happily ever after” when she became pregnant with twins in 2014 after five years of marriage.
Within months, however, her world fell apart when she caught her husband cheating. She filed for divorce two years later.
“I struggled for a long time,” she said, recalling how hard it was to decide to end the marriage. “I didn’t want my babies to be fatherless, but staying with him was torture because he never tried to hide his affairs.”
