 Class number divisibility for a CM extension

For a CM-field $K$ over its maximal real subfield $K^{+}$, the ordinary Hilbert class field $H_{K^{+}}$ is totally real because its real places split. Thus $H_{K^{+}}\cap K=K^{+}$. Its compositum with $K$ is an abelian extension of $K$ of degree $h_{K^{+}}$, and is everywhere unramified by unramified extensions remain unramified under base change. It lies in $H_K$, giving the divisibility. The argument does not require injectivity of extension of ideal classes.
