Your Love and Affection is Worth $4,802
In Chicago a jury recently awarded a brokenhearted spouse the sum of $4,802. That’s apparently what his wife’s love and affection that he lost was worth.
The man sued his husband’s lover under the alienation of affection law. Never heard of it? Many people never have, it’s only a law in 8 states. The law basically allows a jilted spouse to sue the third party in the relationship for loss of love.
Here’s the thing though - the wife who stopped loving her husband says that it was her husband who encouraged her to have sex with other men and women to spice things up in their marriage. It was never her idea. He specifically asked her to have sex with the man he then sued.
The man who will be paying the $4,802 has never denied sleeping with the married woman. He was just shocked to find out that he would have to pay for it!
