Stealing another's man's wife costs $4,802
 

Judge orders German Bilov to pay $4,802 to man for stealing wife's affections

Arthur Friedman used a little-known Illinois law to pursue case

Law states a spouse can hold a third party responsible for alienation of affection

CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- Stealing someone's heart can cost you: Just ask German Blinov.

A Cook County jury ordered Blinov to shell out $4,802 last week after he was sued by a husband from a Chicago suburb for stealing the affections of the man's wife.

Arthur Friedman used a little-known state law to mount the legal attack against Blinov. The alienation of affection law, one of eight across the country, lets spouses seek damages for the loss of love.

But Natalie Friedman, the woman at the center of it all, claims her husband asked her to have sex with other men and women -- including Blinov -- to spice up their relationship.

She supposedly began having feelings for Blinov, prompting her husband to file the lawsuit.

"This guy ruined my life -- he backstabbed me," Arthur Friedman told the Chicago Sun-Times. "What he did was wrong. And I did what I had to do to get my point across."

Blinov doesn't deny having a relationship with Natalie Friedman while she was married, but he was surprised to learn he could be sued for it. His attorney also said Natalie Friedman was unhappy with her marriage before the relationship started.

"German was not a pirate of her affections," attorney Enrico Mirabelli said. "Her affections were already adrift."

So $4,802 is the blue-book value on a used wife? I'd like to know what kinda mileage that model had on her...

You also need to check the Service Log.

No, what's wrong is the stupid, fucked-up idea inherent in this law that people can possibly belong to each other.

Kinda my point...but what may be even scarier is that 12 of our "peers" saw fit to make it so...

Isn't that the standard vows, "Love honour and cherish//Love honour and obey".

True, but the tricky part is living up to them.

My point was that men cherish, women must obey.

I don't see this going down well with Pixies brides.

Stealing another man's wife should carry the ultimate penalty, having to keep her.

:rofl:


I've always wondered whether it was safe to trust that a woman who would leave her husband was "committed" to you. I dunno.....but I guess it's worth the $4802 to try. :D

Let me check the overdraft and I'll get back to you, osuche.
