The Xinhui District People's Court in the city of Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, threw out a lawsuit for divorce filed by a local husband surnamed Zhao on Tuesday.

Zhao, born in 1972, went to court after more than a decade of being a laughing stock among neighbours and friends because his wife is seven years older than him.

The court, however, refused to accept the case, saying that Zhao lacked enough reason for divorce because Zhao married his wife of his own accord after two years of dating.
