Good example set for protecting rights of senior citizens

DRAFT RULES on protecting the rights and interests of senior citizens in Yunnan province state they have the right to remarry, and, for the first time, should they do so their children should not interfere in their family life. An article on scwmw.gov.cn comments:

This is the first time that administrative rules at the provincial level include such an article. It is a necessary step to respect the legal rights and interests of senior citizens, and also a step forward to persuade the legislature to write the article into relevant laws.

China's population above the age of 60 will reach 250 million in 2020 and more than 300 million in 2025. The remarriage of those senior citizens who lose their spouse will become more common.
