Man Successfully Sues Wife Over Ugly Children and Judge Orders Wife to Pay $120,000

[SonOfTheGods]

Jian Feng sued his wife for giving birth to what he called an “incredibly ugly” girl.

“I married my wife out of love, but as soon as we had our first daughter, we began having marital issues,” he told the Irish Times. “Our daughter was incredibly ugly, to the point where it horrified me.”

Initially Jian accused his wife of infidelity, because he knew he could never be the father of an unattractive child. However, DNA tests proved that the child was indeed his. Feng’s wife then came clean and admitted she had about $100,000 worth of cosmetic surgery done in South Korea before they met.

Feng sued his wife on grounds of false pretenses, for not telling him the truth about the plastic surgery, and duping him into believing that she was beautiful. A judge agreed with Feng’s argument and ordered his wife to fork over $120,000.

--Maybe she can counter-sue?

He should have gotten even more. But well, money can't fix some things.

Man divorces and sues wife over ugly past

A Chinese man has divorced and sued his wife for £55,000 after discovering she'd had plastic surgery before they met.

Jian Feng, 38, was said to have been "horrified" when she gave birth to an ugly baby daughter. He suspected her of having an affair.

His wife then confessed to having plastic surgery costing £70,000 in South Korea before they met and showed him a picture of how she used to look.

He filed for divorce two years after marrying her following a whirlwind romance.

The Heilongjiang Morning Post said Jian successfully sued for deceit.

Uhm, looking at their photo, I'd say it's not all her fault .

 

But seriously, the worst father of the year award goes to....

I'm not taking sides on this one.

Sounds fake to me, though judges/family courts do go along with some pretty ridicolous things. Also, very lovely woman.
