A third party’s act of infringing a couple’s communal living falling under the essence of marriage by committing an unlawful act with one of the married couple, obstructing the maintenance thereof, and infringing a spouse’s right as the spouse, thereby causing emotional distress to the spouse, in principle, constitutes tort (see Supreme Court en banc Decision 2011Meu2997, Nov. 20, 2014). 2) In light of the above legal principles, the above recognition is in principle a tort. According to the above recognition, the Defendant, even though he was aware that he was a spouse of the married couple, thereby infringing on the couple’s communal living between the Plaintiff and C, thereby causing emotional distress to the Plaintiff by interfering with its maintenance.
