In some states you can actually sue the person your spouse cheats with for damages in the millions! Of course, this is if your spouse leaves you. This law could be a deterrent for adulterous behavior in those states BUT suing would most likely ruin any chance of reconciliation. You can also sue therapists or family members if they convince your spouse to leave, thereby contributing to the "loss of affection". It's an effective way to seek revenge against "the other woman/man", but would you go to these lengths if it happened to you? Would you seek this form of revenge or would you be afraid it would destroy any chance of reconciliation down the road?

I, personally, would sue the little homewrecker ;)
 
That's hilarious! I had no idea such a law existed. I think I would sue her, get all her money, make her miserable, and then leave my husband. So that he's miserable too.
 
What if the other party doesn't know? "No, I'm not married!" I think that law is pretty petty.
 
There seems to be a major problem with the misuse of the US court system...this seems like just another poor excuse for people to benefit from shitty situations.

So many frivolous lawsuits out there.

Samsonite, are you alright with your tax dollars funding this activity?


People fuck up, the world still spins and sun still comes up the next day. Maybe we should focus on other things than the dollar
 
This is worthy of ridicule and deserves to be mocked.

It is HORRIBLE! There should be no legal penalty for the fact that two consenting adults had sexual relations in private. It's pushing the limits of human rights. (That is, no matter what, under all circumstances, I have full authority and command over my own body and sexual functions so long as it is not forced upon another.) This sort of law creates a situation where people lose that, where The State can tell them what otherwise consenting adult they may or may not have sex with, under penalty of Law. That is frighting.

The State should only be involved in that to the degree of preventing rape and molestation.
 
There's a lot of grey area in situations like this that I think a law won't be able to sufficiently cover.

How about a law that protects me from assault charges if I beat the shit out of a homewrecker? lmao
 
No, because assaulting another person is, again, a violation of their RIGHT to control and feel secure withing their own body. It is only justified in the case you are doing so to fend off an IMMINENT or occurring assault upon yourself.
 
It's a good day- seeing as it is an individual state law and not federal, and my state isn't included in the participating states, I don't pay a a single dime toward it. Taxes are an entirely different issue. There are lots of things I don't like having to contribute toward but this is the US. Majority rules.

You could technically argue this for a lot of things if that's how you perceive human rights. Human rights are about equality and freedom but do not protect you in doing whatever you want with your body. Even if it is a "victimless crime"(prostitution,drug use, etc..) you can still be prosecuted. And it isn't "the state" that is pursuing you. The state is not the Petitioner in this action. It is a civil lawsuit. There is much debate about this bc some people believe you should only be able to prosecute for theft of tangible items (money,cars..) but when you have children and the father/husband is being stolen some believe that should be less enforceable. In regards to the lawsuit itself, you have to prove the third party knew the spouse was married, therefore intentionally meddled in a union (essentially a contract) between to parties. I suppose your belief in this lawsuit comes down to your perception of marriage and adultery.
 
If someone can be sued for leaving/breaking up a marriage then it is only fair that someone can be sued for contributing to an unhappy/loveless marriage
 
That's what divorces are for ;)

I suppose you could go for alimony if you want retribution for the unhappy courtship. That's kind of like "suing".

Well, I guess this would be their best chance. Of course, they'd have to catch her bangin someone else. There was someone who won this lawsuit and was granted 8 or 9 million dollars. Can you imagine the mistress's reaction?! Most expensive lay in history, I'm sure.

It's only valid if you can prove the 3rd party knew you were married and still pursued your spouse. I would imagine it would take something like emails or audio recordings as evidence.

Marriage is a contract and Im certain that if someone breaches a legal contract they can be held liable. The marriage contract entitles the various partners to certain things from the other I expect. Isnt there rules against poaching employees from businesses such as in the gaming industry where a business mightve trained someone up and given all this knowledge then another game company comes along and poaches them gaining an experienced employee without effort and I heard to prevent this the employees are made to sign contracts stating who they can and cannot work for for a certain number of years are termination of or breach of contract with their company. This would be very similar to the anti-poaching marriage law. Im not saying either law is good neither scenarios but I can understand where theyre coming from. Especially in certain situations where the wife has been homemaking dependant on the husband and in middle age without any skills of her own the husband leaves her for a younger model where that could be considered a breach of contract and poaching of the wifes interests and it would certainly be reasonable in such cases to make certain the wife or the dependant party would not be left worse off financally if this situation happened as it does all the time.
 
Wellll I'm sure many people have interesting views on US laws.
But it is interesting. I don't really think you could sue the "other woman/man" but I guess you could sue the one that was cheating.
Of course, there is so much grey area. What is "cheating"? There are so many things that you can't be sure about.
 
You can sue the "other woman/man". I stated that in my original post. It's a tort action where the spouse can file against a third party for "Alienation of Affection". It's quite real and spouses have been successful in these suits. It is still valid in New Mexico, Mississippi, Utah, etc...
 
No. That's just insanity and an example of USA "sue-for-anything-gone-mad" world, which is spreading like a disease. I wouldn't be surprised if you could soon sue someone for accidentally giving them the flu if you bumped into them at work or whatever.

It's fucking insane -should be private, and civil - people who sue for this should take a good hard look at themselves, before fucking otherpeople over. It's shameful and disgusting.

This this this this THIS!
 
The consensus seems to be that most men are against it and most women support it. Of course, that's not going off of government statistics, it's just what I've witnessed on tv and heard from people I have discussed this with. I have my own opinions as to why this may be the case :)
