A Hunan province judge recently granted a divorce to a man after he discovered that his wife was having an affair with a woman, but denied his claim to compensation for mental anguish.
Liu, the (ex-)husband, said that he became suspicious when his wife, surnamed Huang, started staying over at her all-night mahjong partner’s house, surnamed Zhang.
When Liu discovered that their relationship had turned away from mahjong and towards other activities, he took Huang to court and filed for divorce as well as 20,000 RMB of compensation for mental anguish suffered. In return, Huang argued that her relationship with Zhang had only blossomed because Liu ignored her following their wedding.
However, although the court agreed to their divorce, they denied Liu his compensation because according to China’s Marriage Law, cohabitation, and the affair, can only have existed between two people of opposite genders.

Fisrt of all, for this thing I didn't want to express derogatory or good.l am only intreast in the life phenomenon :as you can seen from this report why she started to love and get merried her husband ,then loved her friend .is it really due to her husband did not care about her enough ?and what makes them so different .maybe is it the bad natural environment ?Everyone knows that environment is very bad now, so will this kind of bad environment affect the body's hormone levels? or gene (Gene transcription and translation to affect the appearance)?or psychological ? or is it more and more open social environment? Or is all sorts of other reasons? the second ,it is a comment phenomenon in the whole world .maybe l said not so accuracy ,for it is no accurate statistics in the past ,l think it also difficult now in lots of places . as your said l believe there will be less and less danger in the future .but not just due to this resonance . the third , I don't think that I don't show identity is a question,and l am not conside that the thought of mine is stupid.meanwhile l do not think how intelligent you are . the fourth and most important , equality and no discrimination is not your lip service or preach is really equal respect. I hold that when all people to lose interest in talking about this problem, it can achieve the real equality and respect.
