    Wife wins case against husband"s mistress

    Wife wins case against husband’s mistress. Thai netizens have been keeping up with the case ever since the story of the wife visiting a wedding between the husband and the mistress went viral online. The court has ordered the mistress to pay 200,000 THB to the rightful wife. Nipaparn known as Joy 33 years old held her marriage certificate into a wedding between the mistress and her husband. The husband is a 34-year-old police officer at the Chai Nat city police station in Chai Nat Province. Joy knew she was taken advantage of, and she needed to set things straight.

    Joy built a life with the husband; they have been married for 16 years after signing the marriage certificates. They also have 2 beautiful children. The husband forgot the love of his wife and the children, instead he formed a relationship with another woman and decided to arrange a wedding. Pictures of the wife arguing with the husband at his secret wedding went viral quickly. Both the husband and mistress ignored the fact that he was already married and chased the wife out of their wedding. The incident took place on 18 February 2021.


    The wife then filed a case with the court asking for compensation from the mistress set at 300,000 THB. At the same time there was news that the mistress also planned to file a case against the wife for 2 million THB. The mistress claimed the wife cause shame towards her. The wife then responded with a message that she does not mind if the mistress decides to file a report, but make sure to pay the compensation on the first case before she files the case.


    The latest news on 24 June 2021 was posted online by the wife on her Facebook account. The wife stated “The feeling after knowing that I won is worth more that 300,000 THB. She has been shamed by the whole country all throughout the media. This is worth more than the money that she must pay. I am more beautiful now and that is worth more than 200,000 THB with the interest. I must thank this experience. Say goodbye to the old days and welcome my new face”.

    Don't people/ individuals in TH need some sort of document saying that he/ she is single before getting married? How was the guy in the OP able to marry his mistress if he's still married to the wife?

    Here in PH, a "certificate of no marriage" is required for both parties, taken from the nat'l statistics office. It's one of the requirements before one can obtain a marriage license. It's to prevent bigamous marriages, which I hear were common before the days of computers & internet.

    If one of the parties is a foreigner, the foreigner must get a document from his embassy.

    Just wondering about the legal rules in TH. Thanks for the answer.

    Married through a monks blessing of the marriage, not registering the marriage at the city hall.

    Sirri marriage in Indonesia is similar, in both cases men of religion approves the marriage...

    For a foreigner it's the same in Thailand.

    The way that she's standing there displaying the marriage certificate front and centre is the clue, hugh.

    Yep. My ex wife didn't blame me for anything, but she sure wrote a long message to schizo saying she'll sue her ass off.

    I am not sure why is this a news tho. It happens a lot in Thailand. As a matter or fact wife's friend is getting sued by some military guy's wife.

    It really is never a man's fault.


    Oh, Cyrille posted on this thread. Waiting to read how stupid I am for whatever reason.

    Thanks for the answers.

    Follow up questions:

    Is the marriage by monk legal? Will the 2nd woman (mistress) get a document out of it?

    And.. just in case the guy dies (he's a policeman so I assume he'll have govt benefits) - who gets the death benefits? The 1st wife or mistress?

    Just comparing the differences. Here in PH, both the religious (church) or city hall wedding require the certificate of no marriage (Cenomar) and both need a marriage license.

    TIA

    The Muslims (mostly in the South) are allowed to have maximum of 4 wives, if I'm not mistaken.

    I think not. There was a famous story a while back where a young man married twins in one buddhist ceremony. Bigamy is illegal in Thailand, so the ceremony can not be legal.

    Katie,

    My wife and I both had to show documents showing we weren't currently married. My wife had to get a "Proof of Single Status" document signed and sealed by the Philippine government which took a long time. I went to the American embassy and simply attested to the fact I wasn't currently married before a notary republic to the fact I wasn't married.

    @takeovers & @topper - thanks for the replies. Just wondered about those monk marriages & their legality.

    In Vietnam (decades ago), they allowed "police station" marriages, which I guess are similar to the monk marriages - a police officer marries the couple. They're not registered, and I don't know if they still occur nowadays.

    @topper - that "proof of single status" is now called "Cenomar" - certificate of no marriage. Same banana.

    In the 70s & 80s (and maybe early 90s?), this "single status document" was not required in PH, so there were bigamous marriages. I know of a couple (contemporary of my parents) - the guy changed his name & married another woman. Paperwork was more lax then.

    Thanks again.

    I presume ones TIO will still want to see his official paper certificate, prior to accepting a visa application.

    Primarily, the Thai District Office will issue the Marriage Certificates, so that's the first stop, to ask for their requirements.

    Similar at the UK:

    Affirmation of marital status for Thailand

    Template affirmation of marital status form for British nationals in Thailand.

    Affirmation of marital status for Thailand - GOV.UK

    The steps are outlined depending on your status. Single, divorced or widowed.

    They also state the UK Embassy Affirmation and all supporting documents be translated into Thai and legalised at the Thai Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

    Maybe the rules were stricter for foreigners, even then? The guy I talked about earlier (the one who changed his name to marry a 2nd time) was a Filipino. He's passed away, so can't interview him. But he & his 2nd wife were friends of my parents. I've heard of other bigamous marriages in PH, made in pre-internet/ computer days.

    @ohoh - thanks for your input
