A tragic incident stemming from a secret extramarital affair has culminated in a unique legal ruling in China. A 66-year-old married man passed away during a sexual encounter with his girlfriend at a hotel, leading a court to order the woman to pay Rs 7.5 lakh (approximately 65,000 Chinese Yuan) in compensation to the man's family.

The case, as reported by the South China Morning Post, began when the man checked into a hotel with his girlfriend for their clandestine meeting. The encounter took a fatal turn, resulting in the man's sudden death, which left hotel staff shocked and his family unaware of the circumstances until later.

The court's decision to hold the girlfriend financially liable highlights the legal and personal risks that can arise from hidden relationships. The ruling suggests the court found her partially responsible for the events that led to the tragedy, though the exact legal grounds for the compensation order were not detailed in the initial reports. This case serves as a stark reminder of the potential unforeseen and devastating consequences that can unfold from secretive affairs.
