Beijing: A woman from China got pregnant 14 times in a decade to avoid jail time. She took advantage of the Chinese law that states that pregnant women may be given probation. The woman belongs to Urumqi, northwest China.

The woman, known only as Zeng, was sentenced to life imprisonment for corruption by Urumqi Intermediate People’s Court 10 years ago, as reported by the Daily Mail.

The first time she learned that she faced jail time she announced that she was pregnant, and the court decided to allow her to go on probation.

After the first probation decision was granted, Zeng went for an abortion.

And after she regained health, she fell pregnant again and re-applied for probation.

This pattern continued for ten years, with Zeng claiming 14 pregnancies to avoid serving time.
