The 67-Year-Old New Mom May Face Fine For Violating Policy...

Last week we've reposted that a 67-Year-Old Chinese Woman Becomes China's Oldest New Mother.  


Now she and her 68-year old husband could be fined for their third child as in China the current policy permits a maximum of two.


Shandong Province regulations restrict all couples to two children, except the children are physically impaired or born through ex-spouses.


Couples who violate these rules face a fine that is calculated according to a city's average income and the number of children.


It provoked heated debate online over whether the couple should be fined.


The husband said they had not thought about the fine, but he believed the regulation only applies to reproductive women up to 49 years old and therefore his much-older wife should be exempted.


Huang's case was under review, said an official at Zaozhuang health commission in charge of family planning affairs.


Some netizens have congratulated the couple for the birth but others sympathized with their adult children, saying the newborn would likely burden them when the parents grew elderly and infirm. 


Neither of their first two children, both in their 40s, went to the hospital after childbirth.
