Xi, the manger of a company in Dongying, Shandong province, wrote an IOU for 100,000 yuan ($13,700) for his mistress, surnamed Pang, as a demonstration of his desire to divorce his wife and marry her instead.

After he failed to divorce his wife, however, his relations with Pang soured. Enraged, Pang brought Xi and his wife Sun to court, asking them to hand over the promised sum.

Last Thursday, the court ruled in Pang's favor, ordering Xi to honor the IOU as there was no reason to believe it was invalid.
