"Tenn. considers punishing cheating spouses"


NASHVILLE, TN, Apr. 7 (UPI) -- A bill before the Tennessee state legislature would punish cheating or violent spouses in divorce.
Under the measure, spouses who can prove abandonment, adultery or abuse can collect damages, the Nashville Tennessean reports.
''If you want to cheat on your wife -- fine, divorce her first,'' said Rep. Chris Clem, a Republican lawyer and sponsor of the bill. ''But if you do it while you're still married to her, you're going to have to pay."
