A B.C. woman has been given a green light to sue one of Buddhism s holiest figures for spousal support in a claim that appears certain to tread new legal ground.
According to a B.C. Supreme Court ruling posted Tuesday, Vikki Hui Xin Han claims that, even though they have only met in-person four times, she was in a marriage-like relationship with Ogyen Trinley Dorje known to his millions of followers as His Holiness, the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, or simply the Karmapa Lama.

The Atkinsons chose a puppy named Hunter from the litter of six, but upon explaining they intended to give the dog to a family friend, the defendants backed out of the deal and offered $1,000 as compensation, claiming they were entitled to choose who would home the puppies. The defendants were unwilling to agree to give up the pick of the litter to the Atkinsons because they had already sold all the dogs, according to a notice of civil claim. The plaintiffs said they found online posts indicating the dogs were all being sold for $3,000 each and were unwilling to accept the $1,000 because it was not the intended compensation and is not a fair value for the puppy, as they were being sold for $2,000 more.
