Proving infidelity at divorce court easier

A court in Beijing is helping couples to fight infidelity by making it easier for a spouse to press charges against their partner.

The Haidian court will allocate more time to investigate cases of infidelity if the complainant can provide pictures, e-mails or text messages of their partner in intimate relations with another person, said judge Zhang Xuan.

Previously the court would only continue a case if it had strong evidence such as documents to prove cohabitation or sexual intercourse, Zhang said.
