Japanese government still lists refusing to pay for dates as a form of domestic violence

Resumen del corpus

The Japanese government's Gender Equality Bureau has classified 'not paying for any dating expenses' as a form of economic domestic violence. The bureau defines various types of domestic violence, including physical, sexual, and psychological violence. The bureau clarified that this classification applies when one person attempts to force a partner to cover all dating costs against their will, distinguishing it from situations where both parties agree to split the expenses.
