An ugly affair
A Chinese man sued his now ex-wife because he believes their daughter is too ugly. Feng Jian was awarded a $120,000 settlement because he said his wife never told him she had plastic surgery to alter her appearance. The local judge said the marriage happened under false pretenses and ordered her to pay due compensation. Jian originally denied he was the father and sued for a paternity test. After winning the case and finding out he was, indeed, the father, his wife divulged that she had undergone $100,000 worth of plastic surgery.
