A Japanese man sued his ex-wife’s lover for 3.3 million yen over their affair. The catch: the wife had already shown the lover her signed divorce petition. In a reversal of a lower court, Japan’s Supreme Court ruled the lover owed nothing.

Being able to sue the lover is dumb in the first place. The blame is on the spouse for breaking their vows to each other.

I feel it’s so weird to basically criminalize and put a price on what someone does with their own body. If you feel that’s reason enough to divorce just divorce.
