For having 7 children ... a Chinese and his wife were fined 155,000 dollars

Two Chinese parents paid more than 1 million yuan ($ 155,000) in fines for having seven children.

According to the Chinese "South China Morning Post" newspaper, Zhang Rongrong and her husband violated the law, which stipulates that citizens of the country may not have more than two children, and they fathered seven children, thus setting a record.

According to the newspaper, without these payments, the children, five boys and two girls, will not receive documents proving their identity.

Zhang operates a garment factory, jewelry and skincare business in south China's Guangdong Province.

Despite the fact that many businesswomen in China prefer not to have children, Zhang decided to start a large family. “When my husband leaves and the older children leave for school, I stay with my younger children ... and when I get old, they will visit me,” she said. ".

In 1979, the Chinese authorities imposed the one-child policy, which aimed to limit population growth.

Under this policy, penalties were imposed on violators, including fines, dismissal from employment or facing forced abortion.
