OK, i wouldn't put it on the same level as murder, but I would take a step beyond civil case.
I think there should be criminal and civil laws against violating someone's home in this way.
The PROBLEM is there is CONSENT from an ADULT to allow the violation to happen.
I compare this to vandalism of the home, break and enter, burglary, and the like.
I don't consider a spouse to be property, but my point is this...
a. If some creep breaks a window and enters my home, takes my DVD player and splits, they would have criminal charges against them
b..If some creep sneaks into my home through my home PC, talks himself into my wife's pants, and pressures her to leave me and she eventually does, its not an actionable offence by law
Something is wrong there...
How is violating a home, taking a DVD player, and walking away scott free any greater of a crime than violating a home, practically raping someone's wife while she's emotionally vulnerable, and then pressing her to end our union?
This is something the federal government or regional government in most "liberal minded countries" should look at.
I had read somewhere that in Italy you used to be free to even kill any man who violated your marriage like this. Clearly we are turning our noses up at something criminal here.
If someone is bullying my kid over the PC, its a criminal offence, but if I have some creep bullying my marriage and persuading my wife to leave me its ok?
I think any threat to a marriage should be a criminal act, but prompting someone to cheat is high on that ladder in particular.
I mean seriously, if I propositions someone for sex for money its a crime, but if some creep propositions my wife for sex its ok?
How is sex for money a crime but infidelity is not?
My understanding is prostitution is illegal because of the kind of scenarios it generates (pimps, drugs, violence, etc)
But doens't infidelity generate a lot of unhealthy scenarios too?
Lies, financial ruin, divorce, violence (if the men end up in a fist fight), abandoned children, homelessness, loss of employment...
I have read stories about some creep violating someone's marriage and the wife finally coming to her senses, but having to leave her JOB because HE works where she worked.
So, this guy violates their union, their home, practically rapes her, walks away and these people have to clean up the mess. They lose money from waste, have to pay for therapy, she has to quit and take a lower paying job. Their children are hurt for god knows how long.
All of this is not criminal?
Seriously...the government should take some action here.
If some creep did the equivalent damage to my HOUSE that he has done to my marriage my house would be nearly burnt to the ground.
Why is it that the government is so quick to protect physical property from damage but they ignore the emotional and financial damage infidelity does to marriages every day of the week?
Guys, this is criminal. Ask yourself if someone did this to your HOUSE in kind how much damage would be done, and how many criminal offences woudl they be charged with?
