A Tainan court granted a man's request for divorce because his wife was "too shy" to
consummate their marriage, after a year! The man surnamed Chen, a 38-year-old teacher from Tainan County was introduced to a woman surnamed Lin, 29, also a teacher, by a matchmaker.
After the couple dated for three months, they got married, but Lin refused to
consummate the marriage. On the wedding night, Lin slept fully dressed and wrapped with a quilt. When Chen tried to sleep with her she pushed him away shouting: "You are ridiculous!", and returned to her mother's home the day next.
Through the matchmaker's mediation, Lin signed a contract agreeing to
consummate the marriage but only for the purpose of procreation, and demanded to sleep
separately. However, she did not live up to the pledge, cause Chen filed for divorce. Lin contested the divorce, claiming that she refused to
consummate the marriage on the wedding night because she was too tired and was ill. But the judge said it was strange for Lin to refuse to
consummate the marriage for one year, so he granted the divorce and ruled that Lin must
compensate Chen NT$300,000 for buying an apartment, giving Lin's family a dowry and losing face because she did not
consummate the marriage.
2. The Woman who requested divorce because her husband tried to sneak one look at her face after 30 years of marriage

setting eyes on her face. His 50-year-old wife followed the tradition of her native village near the south-western city of Khamis Mushayt and kept her features veiled at all times.
One night the husband was overcome by curiosity and tried to lift his wife's veil as she slept to take a look at her face. It was an error he is
unlikely to be given a chance to repeat for his outraged wife woke up during his sneak peek and
decided to demand a divorce.
The betrayed wife said her husband apologized and promised never to do it again, but she insisted she wanted a divorce. It may seem odd, but cases of Saudi husbands with wives forever shrouded in mystery are not uncommon.
3. The Woman who got divorced after her
parrot started repeating "Divorce" and "Be Patient"
In 2001, a Chinese woman launched divorce proceedings against her husband after the family's pet mynah bird reportedly spilled the beans on his marital indiscretions. According to the Xinmin Evening News, the woman first suspected something was amiss when the bird began repeating words
apparently picked up from her husband's secret telephone calls to his lover after she returned from a month-long visit to her parents. She said words such as "divorce", "I love you", and "be patient" had become an
increasingly frequent feature of the feathered telltale's idle twitterings.
She took her case -- along with the bird -- to a local law office for
consultation, hoping it would
testify in court against her husband; lawyers however told her they were not optimistic that the bird's
testimony would sway the court. The wife filed for divorce but, for some bizarre reason, evidence from a bird was
apparently not admissible in Chinese courts.
