Sex You Paid For Isn't Cheating, Court Rules
LatestA woman who sued her husband’s mistress has been awarded no damages after a court decided that neither the husband nor the mistress were in the wrong because the sex was paid for. Therefore, the ruling stated, the business transaction should have had no effect on the couple’s “peaceful home life.”
The decision, handed down in Tokyo after a woman sued a bar hostess for having sex with her husband for more than seven years—uh, that’s not who you should be going after—has left the plaintiff with no money (she sued for $32,000) and no outlet for the emotional distress the cheating caused. (Again, the bar hostess may not be the person you should be going after if you want want to deal with the meotional distress aspect.)
