A man was sentenced to three years in jail with a four-year reprieve for raping his ex-wife hours after a divorce.

On April 13, the couple got a divorce, and the two together returned to their Morin Dawa home in Inner Mongolia where the woman wanted to gather her belongings, and was raped by her ex-husband.

A court concluded that the man was guilty of rape but showed leniency "since he had confessed to the police".
