A 38-year-old woman named Mai ended a decade-long marriage due to severe financial inequality and emotional mistreatment. Despite her husband’s professional success in real estate and business, he maintained strict control over household finances, providing only 6 million VND per month for living expenses while covering only utilities and tuition.

Tensions escalated when the husband refused to provide financial assistance for the emergency surgery of Mai’s mother, even though he had recently provided large sums to his own family. The marriage collapsed after the husband dismissed Mai’s domestic contributions by calling her a “parasite”.
