A Chinese man by the name of Jian Feng took his “beautiful” wife to court for giving birth to a girl whom he described as being “incredibly ugly”.
He reportedly won the case in court and the presiding judge ordered his wife to compensate him with a staggering US$120 000.
“I married my wife out of love, but as soon as we had our first daughter, we began having marital issues. Our daughter was incredibly ugly to a point where it horrified me,” Feng revealed during an interview with the media.
The crisis started when Feng attributed the ugliness of the child to the wife’s infidelity.
However, a DNA test that was conducted ascertained Feng was the biological father of the child.
As pressure persisted, his wife confessed to have had about US$100 000 worth of cosmetic surgery done in South Korea before they met.
It was on this basis that her husband filed a case in court. He accused her of pretence, deceit on looks and a scam.
A judge agreed with Feng’s argument and ordered his wife to indemnify him with US$120 000. — Wires
