New Government Decree Targets Excessive Academic Pressure and Other Forms of Family Violence A new government decree is set to take effect on December 15, introducing strict measures against various forms of family violence. One of the most notable aspects of the regulation is that parents or other family members who compel others to study excessively may face fines ranging from VND5 to VND10 million (approximately US$200–400). This marks a significant shift in Vietnam’s approach to addressing domestic issues, as it becomes the first time "forcing a family member to overstudy" is recognized as a punishable offense. The decree also mandates that offenders issue a formal apology to the affected individual if requested, either directly or through public media. This measure aims to not only penalize the behavior but also promote accountability and reconciliation within families.

A complex and emotionally charged situation has emerged within a family, revealing deep-seated issues of trust, deception, and financial manipulation. The story centers around a woman who discovered that her husband’s family had kept critical information about their inheritance hidden from him, leading to a painful dilemma about whether to reveal the truth. According to the account, ten years ago, the husband’s father, known as the father-in-law, created a will that distributed all the family land to his youngest child and his daughter. However, instead of informing the husband about this decision, the father-in-law fabricated a story, claiming that the title deed was being held by loan sharks. He then asked the husband to pay VND600 million (approximately US$22,800) to help "redeem" the land, promising that he would eventually leave the property to his son. This act of deception continued when the father-in-law gave his daughter VND500 million as business capital and hand...

This moment marked the beginning of a unique journey for our family, one that involved understanding and respecting each other's roles and responsibilities. Reading stories online about siblings fighting over inheritance often makes me feel sad for those involved. I want to share my own experience and perhaps offer one perspective on handling situations like this. The Family Dynamics My parents had a daughter, followed by two sons and another daughter. The eldest married early and moved in with her husband, leaving my father, mother, older brother, younger sister, and me at home. Back then, we were poor, though we were fortunate to still have about five hectares of farmland. My younger sister and I were still in school and ...
