[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, entry of Gap 1 through 11 (including additional numbers) and the purport of the whole pleadings
B. Determination 1) A third party shall not interfere with a couple’s community life falling under the essence of marriage by intervening in a couple’s community life of another person and causing failure of a couple’s community life. A third party’s act of infringing on or maintaining a couple’s community life falling under the essence of marriage by committing an unlawful act with a spouse, and infringing on the spouse’s rights as the spouse, thereby causing mental distress to the spouse, constitutes tort in principle (see, e.g., Supreme Court en banc Decision 2011Meu2997, Nov. 20, 2014). Meanwhile, a spouse’s unlawful act constitutes a tort in principle (i.e., “illegal act of the spouse” includes a broad concept including adultery, but does not reach the gap, but is not faithful to the husband’s duty of good faith, and whether it constitutes an unlawful act shall be determined in consideration of the degree and circumstances depending on each specific case (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 92Meu68, Nov. 10, 1992).
