A Chinese husband filed for divorce, claiming that he had not been married for 11 months.

The court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, her husband, and asked the bride to return the marriage dowry.

According to Chinese media, including the Southern Doshibao, her husband A (25), who lives in Hebei Province, got engaged to bride B (23) in May 2021 through the introduction of an acquaintance.




According to local customs, the two married in March last year, but did not register their marriage.

Also, the two lived together for 11 months after the wedding, but never had a marital relationship.

Husband A insisted that "My wife went out frequently for various reasons and excuses, and slept in different beds."




He then said "When I asked for sex, my wife got angry and wouldn't even touch me.""She was going to make money by using her marriage," he added.

An angry A started separating in February of this year.

Deciding to divorce, he filed a lawsuit against his wife and family members asking them to return the bride's value of 255,300 yuan (about 50 million won).




In response, B protested that the bridal value did not match the facts.

In addition, the separation period began in March this year, when A and his mother kicked B out of their house and refuted that the two separated.

In the meantime, Mr. B "This shows that A has a clear reason to blame, and there is no need to return the bride's value."," he stressed.

In response, the court said, "The two married, but it is judged that they are not the actual couple"As a result of considering various expenses, it is reasonable for Defendant B to return 180,000 yuan (about 35 million won)."
