China woman buys US$28 ‘love insurance’, claims US$1,400 when she gets married a decade later
A Chinese woman, Wu, purchased a "love insurance" policy for 199 yuan (US$28) in 2016, which promised a payout of 10,000 yuan (US$1,400) if she married her partner, Wang, within ten years. After a decade-long relationship, they registered their marriage in 2025 and opted for the cash payout instead of roses or a diamond ring. The policy, issued by China Life Property and Casualty Insurance Company, was discontinued in 2017 due to regulatory changes. Their story sparked online discussions about the concept of love insurance.
