A Belgian court has ruled that chat transcripts with or e-mail to or from a cyberlover can be used as evidence in divorce cases.
Divorce in Belgium is acknowledged for one of three reasons: by mutual consent, through adultery or cruelty, or by separation of five years or more.
Judges on the Brussels Appeals Court recently accepted “printouts of a erotic chat” as evidence in an adultery trial
Writes The Register: “Although the printouts were inadequate to prove a partner had cheated on his or her spouse, judges found that they could constitute grounds for divorce, because the behavior was clearly ‘unworthy’.”
