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.

Fake Wife Divorce

Sanjib Saha, an Indian man living in the Eastern city of Kolkata, used an impersonator (playing his real wife) to get a divorce. Both Sanjib and the fake wife said that the divorce was mutually decided and the court agreed immediately.

Unfortunately for him, he is now facing legal charges after his real wife found out what happened and appealed to the Supreme court, suspending the divorce and accusing him of cheating.

Personally, I never thought that these sort of things were even possible in any part of the world in the 21st century. As far as I know, in most places you have lawyers involved and there is a lot of paper work and identification required. It's just amusing to me that an impersonator can take the role of the wife, without the judge or attorney or whoever was in the court recognizing who she really was.
