Hsinchu husband interacts intimately with pilgrims while wife is sleeping, court approves divorce

Too ridiculous! When Zhang Nan and his wife participated in the Mazu pilgrimage in Hsinchu, they ignored his wife and slept nearby. They had an intimate interaction with the pilgrim Chen Nv while his wife was sleeping. His wife was angry and filed for divorce. The Hsinchu District Court repeatedly reported that Zhang Nan was not present and ruled that his wife was divorced.

Ms. Lin said that in April 2010, when the couple and their friends were on a Mazu pilgrimage trip, Mr. Zhang, regardless of the fact that his wife was in the same room, had an intimate interaction with Ms. Chen that transcended their boundaries while she was sleeping. This destroyed the loyalty and respect that couples should have and caused great harm and pain to her. As a result, the marriage broke down. Afterwards, although Ms. Lin tried her best to maintain the family, she did not feel that her husband had any intention to restore their relationship, and the couple no longer had an intimate relationship. Moreover, due to their different personalities and attitudes, they had not been getting along for a long time, which deepened the rift in the marriage.

After repeated consideration, Ms. Lin no longer wanted to live with Mr. Zhang and had found another place to rent and live separately. Mr. Zhang failed to show up for many court dates without valid reasons, which clearly showed that she did not care about the survival of the marriage. The marriage was unsustainable due to the above reasons, so she decided to file for divorce.

Zhang Nan was legally notified by the Hsinchu District Court, but did not appear on the oral argument date, nor did he submit a written statement or make any statement.

The judge investigated and found that Mr. Zhang actually had inappropriate and intimate interactions with others while his wife was sleeping beside him, causing the couple to lose trust. Moreover, due to their different personalities and attitudes, the husband and wife were not getting along for a long time, which deepened the marital rift.

The judge considered that marriage is based on husband and wife living together, sincere mutual trust, and sharing weal and woe. Mr. Zhang had intimate behaviors with others that went beyond ordinary social boundaries, which seriously damaged the relationship and mutual trust between the couple. He later did not try his best to communicate with his wife, resolve it, or take any steps to repair the marriage. Even after being notified multiple times by the judge, he did not make any form of dispute or defense, showing that he did not care about maintaining the marriage.

The judge determined that the foundation of sincere and mutual trust between the husband and wife no longer existed, and there were indeed major reasons why it was difficult to maintain the marriage. Zhang Nan should be held responsible for this flaw in the marriage. Therefore, Ms. Lin's petition for divorce from her husband has her own reasons and should be allowed.
