A

Chinese woman who sued a man for '€œviolating her rightto virginity'€ after he wooed her with false promises has been awarded nearlyUS$5,000 by a court, reports said Wednesday.

The two were dating but after the woman, surnamed Chen, found out her boyfriend was already married she sued him for swindling her out of her virginity, accusing him of pretending to be single and pledging to make her his wife, Shanghai media said.

A spokesman for the Pudong New Area People'€™s Court confirmed the case and the judgement, but said the man had appealed the ruling.

The two met online in 2009 but only began dating in 2013, later travelling to Singapore where they consummated the relationship, online media platform The Paper said.
