In what is being lauded as a first of kind ruling, a divorce court in China has asked a man to pay 50,000 yuan or $7,700 to his now ex-wife&nbsp;as compensation for housework during their five-year marriage.&nbsp;
The ruling is based on a new civil code where&nbsp;a person may demand compensation from their partner during a divorce if they were the primary carer for children or elderly parents, or did most of the unpaid household work.
The wife told the court that she was the sole caretaker of their child and the husband&nbsp;&ldquo;didn&rsquo;t care about or participate in any kind of chores.&rdquo;
The case has stirred a debate on Chinese social media about the financial worth of housework.

Expecting mothers who consume a diet high in salt and sugar from processed food may increase the likelihood of&nbsp;birthing children at high obesity risk.
"Children born to mothers who eat a low-quality diet&mdash;high in inflammation-associated foods&mdash;during pregnancy may be more likely to have obesity or excess body fat," a University College Dublin representative said in a statement.
The&nbsp;evidence collected from 16,295 mother-child pairs points to the first 1,000 days of life -- from conception to two years old -- as a critical period for preventing childhood obesity.
The&nbsp;research suggests that promoting an overall healthy diet, high in fruit and vegetables and low in refined carbohydrates and red and processed meats, throughout pregnancy may help prevent childhood obesity.
