Dumped Fiancee wins $150K

This story begins with a woman who gave up her dream job to move to Georgia, Atlanta, to marry who she thought would be the man of her dreams. Unfortunately for her, the groom called off the wedding 2 days before it was supposed to take place. She ended up taking him to court for a breach of contract and was granted $150000 by the judge.

Even though I really feel sorry for the woman, who gave up everything including her job and previous residence, to marry a jerk; I really don't think that these sorts of issues should belong in the court room.

I mean, what's next! Soon we'll have hundreds of brides and grooms lining up in front of the courts trying to get some money off of each other for the breach of contract. This is NOT the corporate world, where people sue each other for no reason at all. This is a union between two people and must be treated in a different manner. Although I do believe that the affected person should be given compensation, it should be mutually decided between the two parties.

We really shouldn't try to make social unions into matter of legal litigation.
