BEIJING - Chinese women are taking the lead in filing for divorce, with 70 percent of cases initiated by wives last year in one local court.
Incompatibility, extramarital affairs and domestic violence were major causes behind the breakups.
The People's Court of Shunyi district, in northeast Beijing, on Tuesday released statistics based on the approximately 800 divorce cases it handled in 2010.
