Court hears divorce case at Yao Mountain

The local people's court in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region recently set up a temporary circuit court in Yao Mountain to deal with a divorce case.

The wife filed a lawsuit with the court in 2016 after frequent quarrels with her husband over household chores, since marrying her husband in March 2008.

Since the defendant suffered a leg injury due to a traffic accident and now has difficulties walking, the judges from the Gongcheng Yao Autonomous County People's Court set up a circuit court at the home of the defendant in the Yao Mountain region.
