[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A man in his 30s who injured his wife by driving while hanging her from a car during a divorce lawsuit was fined.


The Daegu District Court, 5th Criminal Division (Presiding Judge Kwon Min-oh), announced on the 1st that it sentenced Mr. A, who was prosecuted for assaulting his wife during a divorce lawsuit (special assault, etc.), to a fine of 7 million won.


According to the court, Mr. A was charged last December at a parking lot in Suseong-gu, Daegu, with pushing and throwing his wife B (in her 30s), who was in the middle of a divorce lawsuit, and damaging the side mirror of Ms. B's vehicle.


Mr. A is also accused of repeatedly moving forward and backward about 5 meters while hanging Ms. B, who climbed onto the hood to stop him from leaving the scene by car.


At the time, Ms. B discovered her husband with a woman suspected to be his mistress inside the car and assaulted the woman, and Mr. A committed the crime after seeing this.



The court explained, "Although he inflicted injury on his wife during the divorce lawsuit, we took into consideration his remorse and the fact that the injury was not severe."
