The Nanning Intermediate People's Court in South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on Monday approved a divorce request from a woman surnamed Wei who was infected with a sexually transmitted disease by her husband.

Wei, who said she had always been faithful to her husband and never has casual sex, was found to have contracted gonorrhea last July. Wei believed that her husband surnamed Chen, who frequently visited prostitutes, was responsible for her disease and filed a lawsuit after she collected evidence last month.

The court said it was Chen's mistake that led to the family breaking up and ruled in favour of the plaintiff.
