A new regulation issued by a company in Chongqing requires its employees to sign a premarital agreement, wherein they promise to return twice the sum they received as cash gifts from their colleagues in case their marriage ends in divorce.

Jia Lichun, manager of the company, said he had to introduce the regulation since 65 percent of his employees were born in the 1980s.

He said: "Youngsters don't take marriage seriously and often resort to divorce after a minor dispute."
