2. Determination

(a) Husband and wife shall live together, and have the obligation to support and cooperate with each other;

(Article 826 of the Civil Act). The content of the duty of sharing a living together or the duty of maintaining a common life of both spouses and wife, which shall not engage in any unlawful act, shall bear the sexual duty

If one side of the married couple commits an unlawful act, the other side of the married couple shall be liable for damages caused by a tort against the mental suffering which the spouse has sustained.

On the other hand, a third party shall not interfere with a married couple’s communal living which is the essence of the marriage, such as intervening in a marital life of another person and causing a failure of the marital life.

An act of a third party who causes mental pain to the spouse by infringing on a marital life falling under the essence of marriage or interfering with the maintenance thereof and infringing on the right as the spouse by committing an unlawful act with the spouse, shall constitute a tort.

(see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2013Meu2441, May 29, 2015). “Cheating” in this context refers to a wider concept, including the adultery, that does not reach the gap.
