A man surnamed Qiu met a woman surnamed Ye through a dating app. He lied that he was a divorced single father and worked for Formosa Plastics South Asia. Not only did he show his identity card to win the trust of the other party, but he also dated her for six years on the condition of marriage. Until Ye accidentally discovered the other party's real family photo on Facebook, she was shocked to realize that she was a third party. She was so angry that she filed a lawsuit for compensation. The judge believed that Qiu's concealment of his married status infringed on his autonomy and awarded him NT$500,000 in damages.

The verdict pointed out that in June 2019, a woman surnamed Ye met a man surnamed Qiu through a dating software. Qiu claimed to have been divorced from his ex-wife for more than ten years and was raising two minor children alone. He also worked for Formosa Plastics South Asia Company and could go south for business trips due to the construction of Renwu Factory. In order to win Ye Nu's trust, Qiu Nan not only sent the front and back of his ID card, but also introduced his grandfather, who had poor vision, to Ye Nu. During their six-year relationship, the two of them traveled and interacted like a couple.

Ye Nu firmly believed that the other party was dating on the premise of marriage. During the period, the two parties had close contact and had sex 250 times. In June 2025, Ye Nu accidentally saw a photo of Qiu Nan traveling with his spouse and children on Facebook. After questioning, Qiu Nan admitted that he was not divorced, and even tried to threaten Ye Nu not to sue him by saying that "his ex-girlfriend had been sued by his wife for violating her spousal rights." Ye Nu was severely traumatized both physically and mentally. Not only was her normal life and work affected, but she also had to frequently go to the mind-body clinic for treatment and psychological consultation.

In order to seek justice for his lost 6 years of youth, he filed a lawsuit against Qiu Nan for 2 million yuan. During the trial in the Kaohsiung District Court, Qiu Nan said that when he first met Ye Nv, he originally only planned to have fun. Unexpectedly, when the two met for the first time, he realized that Ye Nv was his ideal partner. He unconsciously fell in love with her and hid his married status in order not to lose her. The judge believed that Qiu Nan concealed his married status and deceived Ye Nv into dating and having sex with him on the premise of being single and married. This seriously violated Ye Nv's autonomy. Therefore, he was sentenced to pay 500,000 yuan in compensation and can appeal.
