Wife Accused of Exploiting Paralyzed Husband After Draining⁢ His Life​ savings

A heartbreaking case in Shanghai has‌ revealed allegations of financial exploitation against a​ man left paralyzed after a stroke shortly after his wedding. Wang, ​a Shanghai resident, married Ren Fang, 16 years his junior, in 2016. Tragically, ⁣he suffered ‍a stroke on his wedding day, marking ⁤the beginning of a steep ‌decline in his health. Over the following years, he endured multiple strokes, ultimately leading to paralysis and the loss of speech ‍in 2019.

Wang,a widower who ⁤raised his daughter from a previous marriage alone for⁣ over 20 years,was reportedly seen⁤ as a desirable partner due⁤ to ⁣his pension,property,and relocation benefits. His mother had expressed concerns about ‌the age gap and Ren’s potential motives.Following ⁤the eviction ​of ⁤Wang’s home in 2020, his wife and daughter received compensation totaling over​ 2 million yuan (approximately ⁣$280,000 USD). Shortly after, ⁢Ren​ legally sought to be declared Wang’s ⁢sole guardian, a request that was granted. She then filed a lawsuit against Wang’s​ daughter,⁣ attempting to ⁤claim a portion ‍of the compensation. The court awarded Wang 1.1 million yuan, with the remainder going ⁢to his⁢ daughter.

Though, Wang’s daughter ⁤soon discovered that a‌ meaningful portion of her father’s funds had been transferred to an account controlled by Ren. Over two years, she alleges Ren withdrew large sums, sometimes up to 50,000 yuan ($7,000 USD) per day, leaving the account with a mere 42 yuan (approximately‌ $6 USD) by August 2024.

Ren defended ‍her actions, claiming ⁣the money was used for nursing home costs, health ⁤supplements, and was partially saved in a bank offering⁢ higher interest rates. However, Wang’s daughter‍ countered that his 6,000 yuan ⁣monthly pension was sufficient⁣ to cover his living expenses.

The court ultimately revoked Ren’s sole guardianship,appointing both⁢ Ren and Wang’s daughter as joint guardians. This requires both parties to sign⁣ off on all ‍financial decisions. ⁢Furthermore, ​Ren’s attempts to claim ownership of the new apartment received in compensation ⁣were also rejected.

The judge emphasized that guardianship should prioritize genuine care for the vulnerable⁢ individual, not ​simply control over their assets. This case highlights the devastating consequences of potential financial abuse ⁣and⁣ the importance of‌ protecting vulnerable individuals.
