10-Year-Old Sues Father for Spending Rs 9 Lakh Lunar New Year Gift on Second Wedding
•A 10-year-old boy in China sued his father for using his 80,000 yuan (Rs 9 lakh) Lunar New Year gift money to fund his second wedding.
•The boy had received 82,750 yuan in "lucky money" over the years, deposited in an account managed by his father.
•After the father remarried and the boy moved with his mother, they discovered the account was emptied for wedding expenses.
•The father refused to return the money, claiming it was from his relatives and friends, and accused the mother of influence.
•The court ruled in favor of the child, stating that monetary gifts to minors are their personal property and parents can only use funds for the child's direct benefit, ordering the father to repay the full amount.
