📍 Case Overview
-
Marital Relationship: The plaintiff and her spouse were legally married with one son.
-
Adultery: The defendant (the other woman) maintained an inappropriate relationship with the plaintiff's husband for approximately 1 year and 6 months, knowing that he was married.
-
Tragic Circumstances: After the affair was discovered, the husband, who was separated from the plaintiff, tragically passed away during the course of the lawsuit.
💡 Key Issues and Arguments
The defendant attempted to evade responsibility during the lawsuit by arguing the following:
-
"Not the Cause of Marital Breakdown": She claimed that the separation was due to the husband's depression and that she had tried to maintain the marriage.
-
"Superficial Relationship": She insisted that the relationship was not deep and had already ended.
Our legal team strongly refuted these claims. 🔥
-
We pointed out that the defendant had met the husband even in front of the plaintiff's child's kindergarten.
-
We presented evidence of her bold affair, including introducing the husband to her mother.
-
We emphasized that regardless of the husband's death, the mental distress suffered by the plaintiff due to the defendant's illegal actions was clear.
⚖️ Court Ruling
The court accepted our arguments and ruled as follows:
"The defendant shall pay the plaintiff 20,000,000 KRW in damages."
-
Facts Acknowledged: The court acknowledged the affair between the defendant and the plaintiff's spouse, including physical contact.
-
Basis for Ruling: The defendant's actions were illegal acts that infringed on the plaintiff's rights as a spouse, and she is obligated to compensate for the resulting mental damages.
✅ A Word from the Attorney
Many people believe that a lawsuit is impossible if a spouse dies. However, the right to claim damages against the other woman is based on a separate tort, so responsibility can be pursued to the end. 🛡️
We may not be able to heal all the wounded hearts, but we will be with you until the end so that you can receive fair compensation legally.
