In what may be the weirdest divorce trial in recent history, a man in China sued his wife for being ugly and actually won the right to divorce her and a substantial settlement of $120,000.
No, this is not a joke. Earlier this year,
Jian Feng, a man from northern China took his spouse to court for being
ugly. But you couldn’t really tell that by looking at her, in fact the
unnamed woman could be considered attractive by most standards. To make
things even weirder, the judge actually ruled in his favor, granting him
the right to a divorce and a settlement of around $120,000.
This probably makes no sense to you right now, but I’ll try to
clarify things as best I can. Jian Feng’s problems began when he and his
wife had their first baby. The man described his daughter as
“incredibly ugly” and told the court she resembled neither of the
parents. Now, most fathers would just hold their peace and love that
little angel as if she were the most beautiful baby ever born, but not
Feng.
He started accusing his wife of cheating on him, and he kept at it
until she couldn’t take no more and finally admitted she might have
something to do with the baby’s appearance.
She had since been rescued by plastic surgery
