How to style the parent element when hovering a child element?

by

I know that there does not exist a CSS parent selector, but is it possible to style a parenting element when hovering a child element without such a selector?

To give an example: consider a delete button that when hovered will highlight the element that is about to become deleted:

<div>
    <p>Lorem ipsum ...</p>
    <button>Delete</button>
</div>

By means of pure CSS, how to change the background color of this section when the mouse is over the button?
