An 80-year-old woman in Fujian province, has filed for divorce, saying she cannot tolerate her husband's "go Dutch" policy any longer.

Li Yimu, 80, a widow, met Jiang Yibo, a widower of the same age, six years ago and got married.

"Jiang is wealthy but he's a miser," Li said. "Every time we buy anything, he'd expect me to pay half the bill."

But the final straw, Li said, came when Jiang offered to pay only 500 yuan ($73) for her paralyzed son-in-law's treatment.
