Amman Court awards husband 1,000 dinars over wife's affair
The Amman Court of First Instance, in its appellate capacity, upheld a ruling requiring a husband to pay 1,000 Jordanian dinars in compensation for moral damage incurred as a result of the collapse of his marital life after he discovered emotional conversations between his wife and her colleague. The husband and his colleague were convicted of the crime of corrupting the marital bond, with the colleague sentenced to three months in prison. The court ruled that the psychological harm and suffering resulting from the failure of the marriage justify the compensation, even though the financial expenses associated with marriage are not considered direct damages punishable by law. This decision was made within the context of the court differentiating between direct material damage and moral damage, and it affirmed the ruling with a legal interest rate of 9%.
