The wife's lawyer in the 'Coin Couple' on JTBC's 'Divorce Reflection Camp' advised her that criminal punishment is possible.

In an episode of JTBC's variety program 'Divorce Reflection Camp' aired on the 27th, the final mediation process for 23 couples was depicted.

On this day, as the Coin Couple entered the final mediation phase, a sharp conflict arose over compensation for mental distress. The wife's lawyer stated, "I acknowledge that my client has a fiery temper. However, it is also true that after starting her marriage, she returned to a gentle demeanor, which your husband must admit. The recurrence of this fiery temperament was caused by your husband's cryptocurrency incident."

Continuing, the lawyer explained, "Her loans exceed 200 million won, and she also took out a loan in her mother-in-law's name. I acknowledge that this has caused significant mental distress to my client and harm to her mother-in-law. We are requesting 0.2 billion won as compensation for mental distress."

Hearing this, the husband exclaimed, "I was completely overwhelmed. I have many loans to repay, and I never expected a demand for compensation for mental distress. Are you trying to kill me?"

The husband's lawyer countered, "It is true that your husband's cryptocurrency activities negatively impacted the family finances. However, from the perspective of compensation for mental distress, we cannot overlook the wife's faults either. Therefore, I believe she should receive 30 million won as compensation."

The wife responded, "I thought he had no conscience. Instead of me receiving compensation, why is he demanding more? He said that once mediation began, his true colors came out."

Earlier, during the lawyer consultation session, the husband told his lawyer, "My wife has frequently attempted extreme actions in front of me." In response, the husband's lawyer stated, "This could also fall under the crime of extortion."

The husband continued, "She uses many insults, verbal abuse, and even physical violence. She also curses at my sister-in-law." The lawyer advised, "Under Korean law, there are cases where a spouse inappropriately treats direct relatives, which is grounds for divorce. Divorce is possible. I believe you should claim this as compensation for mental distress."

Additionally, citing other fault-based reasons, the husband described an act of violence: "When the cryptocurrency incident erupted, I went into the room and was hit for five minutes. My stomach was hit, my head was hit, and my cheek was hit."

Regarding this, the wife told her lawyer, "If a woman hits a man, it probably doesn't hurt much. I've never heard of anyone dying from being hit by a woman." However, the wife's lawyer replied, "That is absolutely not acceptable. The nose and eyes are vital points even if struck by a woman. It constitutes the same act of violence. If she was beaten until near death and caused harm, it would not only be disadvantageous in a divorce lawsuit but could also become subject to criminal punishment."

The wife asked, "Can a woman be criminally punished for hitting a man? I did what I deserved; must I endure it?" The wife's lawyer responded, "Even if she did something deserving of punishment, that does not justify the assault. You must be careful."
