Honesty is best policy when getting married

A woman who lied about her age and how many times she was married has
been taken to court by her husband, in Zhengzhou, Henan Province.

The 47-year-old woman, surnamed Pan, claimed to be 37 and married just
once before, but her husband discovered she had actually divorced twice.

The deceived man, surnamed Yin, 42, felt he had been fooled by Pan and
filed for divorce and compensation.

Zhengzhou Jinshui District People's Court accepted the suit and will hold
a public hearing.
