“We hope that all staff can have correct love values and try to become good employees with four ‘Nos’ – no illicit relationship, no mistress, no extramarital affair, and no divorce,” the company said in a statement.
A Zhejiang-based Chinese corporation has just established a “extramarital affairs prohibition” policy that applies to all married employees and forbids them from cheating on their partners or face termination.
The extramarital affairs rule, which is now part of the written company rules, surprised many people around the world; however, the company claims that the rule will help create a corporate culture that fosters loyalty and love between family members, allowing employees to perform much better at work.
“To strengthen the company’s inner management, to advocate a corporate culture of being loyal to family and love between a husband and wife, to better protect the family and focus on work, all employees who are married are barred from vicious behaviours like having an extramarital affair or keeping a mistress,” the company stated in its document.

The extramarital affairs law quickly became a topic of debate throughout social media platforms, with most people wondering or attempting to figure out what compelled the firm to declare such an extreme move.
