Chinese city tries new method to fight domestic violence

Description

This July, one Chinese city tried something new to tackle domestic violence. In Yiwu, people can now consult their partner's criminal record before getting married. The decision comes as the country saw a spike in cases of abuse because of lockdown measures. Anti-domestic violence advocates welcomed the move, but would also like to see existing laws fully applied.
