The parents of a 23-year-old Chinese woman forced her to agree to leave her paralysed boyfriend if he could not learn to walk within three years.
Yang Nan was told her parents would only give permission for her to stay with Yan Hongbo, 27, who was seriously injured in a motorbike accident in 2009, if he learned to walk again within the three years.
The time however has now passed and Mr Hongbo has not recovered. Her parents have agreed to allow another six months after their daughter begged them to let her stay with Mr Hongbo.
Yang Nan was told she would have to leave her paralysed boyfriend Yan Hongbo if he was unable to learn to walk again in three years

She said: 'I don't know what to do, I know that he can be cured but we don't have any money now for medical treatment. We don't even have enough money to properly get by day-to-day. We need a miracle.'
Mr Hongbo meanwhile has agreed with his girlfriend's parents that she should leave him and have a life of her own if they can't treat his paralysis.
He said: 'I don't see any future for her with me, she has a bright future ahead of her. If we can't get my legs fixed I have made her promise that she will do as her parents want if we don't get things sorted in the next six months.'
The couple, who live in Qionglai city in south west China's Sichuan province, were good friends, although not in a relationship, at the time of Mr Hongbo's accident in April 2009.
The young car mechanic was riding his motorcycle on a mountain road, and ended up slipping off a cliff in the rain.
He was left paralysed from the waist down after falling more than 100ft on to rocks below.

Following his release from hospital his parents argued bitterly about the situation. After one particularly violent argument his father attacked his mother who died as a result.
He claimed it was an accident but was jailed for 10 years, leaving Mr Hongbo to care for himself.
Miss Nan read about the story in the local paper and contacted him online.
Miss Nan said: 'I don't know what to do, I know that he can be cured but we don't have any money now for medical treatment. We don't even have enough money to properly get by day-to-day. We need a miracle'
She ended up going to visit him before calling her parents to let them know she was not coming back and was giving up her job to care for him.
Despite being unhappy with her decision they agreed the deal where she could stay with Mr Hongbo for three years, during which time he needed to get medical attention and learn to walk again.
Mr Hongbo, who has agreed with her parents that his girlfriend should leave him if his paralysis can not be treated, said he hoped his father might be freed early enough from prison to look after him again.
