Her financial claim was based on the amount of household chores she had to do during her time with her husband.
The woman, surnamed Hu, married the man, surnamed Wang, in 2011. They had a daughter in the same year.
However, in the following years, they argued a lot, especially over what type of education their child should receive, Jimu News reported.
Since October, 2022 when Hu moved out of their house in Zhengzhou, Henan province after a fierce row with Wang, the couple has lived separately.
