Chinese man sues wife for being ugly, wins $120,000

[AsahinaKimi]

A man from northern China divorced and sued his wife earlier this year for being ugly. That’s not a joke.

Neither is this: That man recently won the lawsuit.

That man is Jian Feng and he said his issues with his wife’s looks only began after the couple’s daughter was born. Feng was appalled by the child’s appearance, calling her “incredibly ugly” and saying she resembled neither one of her parents.

With that being the case, Feng initially accused his wife of cheating. It was at that point that his wife, who has not been named, came forward, saying she had spent $100,000 on intense plastic surgeries to drastically change her appearance before she met Feng.

1. Reading the article, it appears more that he won because

of false pretenses. If "being ugly" were a ground for suit, it would make no sense, in that one can see that before one marries. She had plastic surgery before the wedding. So she's good looking enough for him with the plastic surgery. But he is considering that the daughter got the genetics, and that's why the daughter is ugly. Though he's one ugly man for not loving his daughter. Maybe it's the one child problem and his having a girl? Sexist indeed.

Another interesting point - she had surgery to make her eyes look rounder. So that's a choice relating to beauty in China? Would seem not-so-Chinese.
