A woman who wants to divorce her husband on the grounds she is unhappy has lost her Supreme Court appeal in the UK

68-year-old Tini Owens wanted the court to grant her a divorce from her husband of 40 years Hugh, who is refusing the split.

The Supreme Court unanimously rejected the appeal, meaning she must remain married until 2020.

The pair have been living separately since 2015,
