๐ญ Tragedy Unfolds at the Theater: "My Heart Still Beats After 3 Years"
The peace of a happy family was shattered by an inappropriate relationship that began at the husband's workplace. The husband, an audio director, began an affair with a musical actress he met while working on a performance.
The defendant (the other party) was fully aware that the husband was a married man with children, but she did not stop the relationship. They continued to stay in hotels, travel, and have sexual relations for three years, acting like lovers.
Even after the relationship had lasted for three years, they exchanged messages such as "I love you, my heart still beats after 3 years," trampling on the plaintiff's rights as a spouse.
โ๏ธ Court's Judgment: "Responsibility for the Breakdown of Marital Cohabitation"
The court reaffirmed that a third party's act of engaging in an affair with one spouse, thereby harming the essence of the marriage and causing mental distress to the other spouse, is a clear tortious act.
-
Duration and Extent of the Affair: Maintaining a close relationship, including sexual relations, for a long period of approximately 3 years.
-
Impact on the Marital Relationship: Extreme mental damage suffered by the plaintiff.
-
Family Relationship: Destruction of a family with minor children.
๐ข Ruling Result
The court held the defendant heavily responsible and ruled that "the defendant shall pay the plaintiff 25,000,000 won in consolation money." In addition, the court ordered the defendant to bear 80% of the litigation costs.
In alienation of affection lawsuits, securing objective evidence is key, rather than emotional responses. ๐ฑ
