TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A Taiwanese woman won a NT$600,000 (almost US$20,000) court case on Friday (Oct. 19) after facing years of physical and psychological abuse at the hands of her ex-boyfriend.
Taipei District Court ruled on Friday that a woman surnamed Yang, who accused her ex-boyfriend of lying about his marriage to another woman and forcing her to have two abortions during their relationship, was entitled to NT$600,000 from the accused.
Yang originally sought NT$1 million (about US$330,000) in damages from her ex-boyfriend, surnamed Tao, for the pain she suffered. According to the ruling, Yang said she began dating Tao in 1996, but they later parted ways. The two got back together in 2014 and subsequently moved in together, resuming their relationship as before.
However, Tao began to date another woman in 2015, and they married secretly in 2016, without Yang knowing. [FULL STORY]
