Is it China that has the ‘one kid per family’ law?
taurusphere asked:
Is it one kid per family, or one kid per woman? If a woman is widowed and remarries, is her new spouse (assuming he is childless) entitled to have a child of his own with her?

Is it one kid per family, or one kid per woman? If a woman is widowed and remarries, is her new spouse (assuming he is childless) entitled to have a child of his own with her?
What if a couple has twins or triplets? Can they keep them all? What happens?

Twins or triplets are aborted. Unauthorized pregnancies are aborted. One child rule has created a society with no brothers or sisters and no cousins and no aunts or uncles no sister or brother in laws also no nieces or nephews. Think about that. They have fertility police to keep track of your periods and you will be an outcast if you dare speak against this.Female children are not desired in China because they do not carry on the family name. convexed

It is one kid per family. For twins or triplets, it is still considered as one. The family are allowed to keep all of them. Even if the woman is remarries, if she already have a child, she still couldn’t have a second child. cherry

China’s one child policy is often misunderstood in western countries, so I am glad that your question provides an opportunity to explain what it is and how it works.
The one child policy was instituted 30 years ago as a humanitarian response to China’s over-population problem. Too many people versus limited resources is the core issue. Like every other country, China only has so much land, water, food, and natural resources. There are 1,330,000,000 people living in China and they all need water, food, housing, education, jobs, advancement opportunity, and a myriad of other requirements. Any large increase to the existing population would prevent economic and social stability for China’s people.
The one child policy has the following features:
* The policy only applies to registered urban families. Rural families and protected minorities (Tibetans, Uyghurs, and others) may have more than 1 child)
* Couples may have 1 child every 10 years. Couples having more than 1 child within a 10 year period are subject to social disincentives.
* Multiple births (twins, triplets, etc) are exempt from the policy.
^ Parents whose first child is physically handicapped, mentally handicapped, or dies may have a second child.
* Waivers of the policy are selectively granted for hardship cases, such as adoption of a deceased relative’s orphan.
* A limited number of municipalities will switch to a 2 child policy within the next few years. Shanghai is the most prominent locale making this change. BSherman

it’s one birthtime per family…
if a woman widowed and had no kid she can have one birthtime with her new husband…
but if she has a kid or he has a kid — no more kids for them…
one birthtime means twins and triplets are within the law… Elena S

Families who belong to Minority groups are allowed to have more than one child.
Twins, triplets are exempt from the rule.
If you have more than one baby you have to pay a large fine, some richer families will pay willingly to have another baby.
Now in Shanghai due to too few young people if you are an only child and your partner is an only child, you are allowed two children.
Someone above wrote that ‘China is now a society with no aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters’- that’s bull shit. *Naams*

The “one kid per family” is not law, well in the old days of communism a lot of nasty things happen, and their has been cases being involved with corrupted officials lately.
Anyhow back to your question, the “one kid per family” law as you put it is the one child polity.
Basically it is a population control system. The idea is that every couple is limited to one birth. be it single, twins, triples etc. After this a fining system comes into play.
The amount of fines you pay is define on a number of variables some of these include:-
Ethenic background,
Region you live in,
Number of births in that region for the year,
Birth spacing,
Physical disability, mental illness or mental retardation,
If its a girl, people in rural areas can apply to have a second one…..!

you can keep twiins or triplets if you have them.
one child policy means you can have only one child in one marriage. but if the first kid is disabled, then you can have one more. if you marry again, you can have kid with your new husband.
if you’re a foreigner, don’t worry about that. you can have kids the amount you want.
in remote places, ppl still think boys are very important in the family. so they keep being pregnant until they have a boy even it means penalty. some places allow ppl to have another kid if their first kids are girls.
in big cities like shanghai, a new law is published now. if both of the parents in the marrige are the only child from their original family, they can have two kids. Betty
