Top Lawyer Takes Adultery Case for Scorned Husband
High-profile lawyer Anusorn Assurapong is handling an adultery case for a husband after his wife's alleged affair with a senior manager went viral online. Thai law allows compensation claims against either or both the unfaithful spouse and
Lawyer Anusorn Assurapong, known as 'Royal Husband's Lawyer,' is preparing to take on an adultery case for a husband whose wife is allegedly having an affair with a senior manager. The case has drawn significant public attention after evidence including marriage documents and chat messages between the wife and the manager were released online, sparking debate and criticism on social media.
Anusorn has posted detailed legal explanations on two main scenarios under Thai law. First, a spouse may file for divorce while simultaneously seeking compensation from both the unfaithful partner and the third party. Second, a spouse may sue for compensation from only the third party without filing for divorce, provided the affair is proven. The court will consider factors such as shame, loss of reputation, and social standing when determining compensation amounts.
Anusorn also clarified important legal conditions and limitations. The third party must have known the other person was married, and 'adultery' covers physical contact ranging from embracing to sexual relations regardless of consent. However, courts cannot order the third party to end the affair. The right to claim compensation exists as long as the marriage is registered, though cases must be filed within one year of discovery. This legal intervention has drawn widespread interest as it represents a notable shift in how such cases are being handled through proper legal channels.
