The growing use of social media is a major factor behind a dramatic increase in the divorce rate, according to a lawyer.
Couples who spend too long chatting online instead of talking and devoting time to each other risk growing apart, said Liu Lin of Beijing Shuangli Law Firm.
Nine of 10 divorce cases Liu handles involve disputes triggered by social media, he added.
