A Beijing lawyer thinks mistresses are not all to blame for extramarital affairs. He has set up a website to help them.

 

Zheng Baichun's website has attracted unfortunate women to post their stories since it was launched four months ago. Zheng has also left his contact information on the website for those who need someone to help them out.

 

Beijing Morning Post reports the lawyer has successfully helped four women obtain financial compensation from their former lovers.

 

Zheng said he was intrigued and later determined to give mistresses a hand after he met a woman who took care of her cancer-stricken lover until the end. His family, however, refused to see him.

 

The lawyer clarified he wasn't encouraging mistresses to ruin families, but sees them as a subordinate group whose legal rights are not protected.
