[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] A wife who broke her husband's finger to prevent him from contacting the man she was suspected of having an affair with received a suspended sentence.

On the 28th, Judge Moon Gi-seon of the Ulsan District Court Criminal Division 9 announced that A (36, female), who was tried on charges of injury, was given a suspended sentence with a fine of 700,000 won.

Last March, A had a severe marital fight with her husband, who suspected her of having an affair, at their home in Dong-gu, Ulsan. When her husband found out the phone number of the other man through her mobile phone and tried to call him, she tried to stop him.

In the process, A is accused of scratching her husband's arm and grabbing and breaking his finger, causing injury.

The court stated, "The defendant claims that the victim was injured while trying not to have her phone taken away, but it is recognized that she caused injury to prevent the victim from talking to her lover. However, considering that the defendant was also severely assaulted by the victim, the sentence is suspended."

Meanwhile, a suspended sentence is a system where, in the case of a minor crime, the sentencing is postponed for a certain period, and if that period passes without incident, the sentence is nullified.
