A judge in China has denied a woman's claim to virtual assets she acquired during her marriage.
Divorce just got a little bit weirder: Time reports that a court in China has dismissed a woman's claim to virtual assets she and her estranged husband acquired during marriage. The two married in 2008 after meeting online, but their happiness, unfortunately, did not translate to the real world. According to China Daily, the couple are divorcing because neither person was willing to do any housework (presumably, they were too busy gaming to straighten up). During their marriage, the couple merged their online gaming accounts under the husband's name and collected a good number of virtual properties--think Farmville cows or pets you can buy on Facebook. Although the woman demanded her share of the property, her husband objected, and the judge ruled that the law had no place in the ownership of internet possessions.
