A woman in Taichung has been ordered to pay 600,000 NT dollars to a wife after being found to have had an extramarital affair with the husband. The wife discovered the affair and filed a lawsuit against the other woman.

The defendant, identified by the surname Xie, admitted to having developed feelings for the husband. However, she denied engaging in any sexual activity with him. Xie claimed that during the period in question, she was either suffering from the flu and receiving intravenous drips or was working as a 24-hour caregiver, asserting she had no time for an affair.

Despite her defense, court records from a motel significantly undermined her testimony. These records reportedly contradicted her claims of being unavailable, leading the court to rule against her. The judgment requires Xie to compensate the wronged wife for the emotional distress caused by the affair.
