A groom is the centre of a trending story in China after a number of his ex-girlfriends showed up at his wedding to protest his treatment of women and threaten to “destroy” him.

The groom, surnamed Chen, from Yunnan province in southwestern China, was shocked when the women carrying a large banner with the words, “We are the team of Chen’s ex-girlfriends, today we will destroy you”, crashed his wedding on February 6.

In a video of the wedding, a line of women stands silently in the middle of a road outside the wedding venue while holding the large red banner.
