Duped China wife discovers ‘doctor’ husband of 5 years is actually jobless, penniless liar during divorce
- Man contributes zero to household finances, hospitals never heard of him, couple often quarrel, court discovers his mum gives him money
A wife in China who has been married for five years to a man she thought was a doctor has only found out he is penniless and unemployed as she prepares to divorce him.
The woman filed for divorce at a court in Wuxi, Jiangsu province north of Shanghai in April because she was fed up with her husband not contributing to the household expenses.
He also often argued and hit her, the Yangtze Evening News reported.
She got to know the man years ago after both had divorced other people. He claimed he was a senior doctor at a major hospital in the city. Three months later, they registered their marriage.
The couple soon had a daughter, but during the marriage, they frequently quarrelled over “financial matters”, the woman said.
Every day the husband left home early in the morning, saying he was “going to work” and returned home late in the evening.
