A Chinese company has sparked outrage after issuing a memo demanding that all unmarried or divorced employees wed within nine months or face termination. The policy, enforced by Shandong Shuntian Chemical, was quickly retracted after being deemed a violation of Chinese labour law, according to Sky News.
The internal notice, which spread rapidly on social media, instructed employees to marry and start families by 30 September or risk losing their jobs. It stated: 'If you cannot get married and start a family within three quarters, the company will terminate your labour contract.'
