A married man in China who successfully sued an insurance company for failing to honour a “love insurance” policy that had a marriage payout of 9,995 yuan (RM6,552 or US$1,400) has attracted much support on mainland social media.

Liu Xiaoming, from Sichuan province in southwestern China, bought the insurance policy in March 2018 as a surprise for his girlfriend.
