MAN SUCCESSFULLY SUES WIFE OVER UGLY CHILDREN

A Chinese man divorced his wife and sued her for giving birth to what he called an extremely ugly baby girl.

At first, he thought his wife had cheated on him because there was no way a good-looking guy like him could produce an unattractive baby.

After his ex-wife proved that the baby was his through a DNA test, she let him in on a little secret.

She opened up and told him that before they met, she had undergone about $100,000 worth of cosmetic surgery in South Korea.

The Huffington Post reported that he sued her for not telling him about the plastic surgeries and making him think she was actually beautiful. Ready for the good part? He won the case! Yes he did. Sued his wife for $120,000. "I married my wife out of love, but as soon as we had our first daughter, we began having marital issues," he told the Irish Times. "Our daughter was incredibly ugly, to the point where it horrified me."
