Taiwanese Couple Marries 4 Times in a Month to Exploit Loophole

Under Taiwanese law, companies must provide newly married couples 8 days of leave. So a married couple divorced and then immediately remarried and claimed those 8 days. They repeated the process. The bank where the husband works concludes that this was an unfair exploitation of the law. CTV News reports:

But an unnamed bank employee decided to game the system last year, claiming 32 days of leave using a novel ruse.

Over a period of 37 days, he and his wife got married four times and divorced three times, claiming the full eight days for each of their nuptials.

The bank balked and the employee appealed to Taipei city labour department, which initially fined his employer Tw$20,000 (US$670) for violating the leave regulations.
