意大利小三電話騷擾正室被罰300歐元

An Italian woman who made anonymous calls to her lover's wife to tell her of their affair has been told she must pay a €400 (£287) fine for harassment.

意大利一名女子給情人的妻子打匿名電話，揭露他們的情事，被法院以騷擾罪判處300歐元的罰款。

The woman, named locally as Annamaria D.R., also told her lover's wife about other affairs her husband had allegedly been having in Bari and Potenza, southern Italy.

這位名叫安娜瑪利亞的女子同時還在電話里向情人的妻子揭露了其夫在意大利南部城市巴里和波坦察有過的風(fēng)流韻事。

She argued in court during an appeal hearing that because her lover's wife did not hang up on her calls immediately, it was clear she was interested in what was being said.

這名女子在法庭上訴中表示，情人的妻子并沒有立即掛斷她的電話，很明顯是對自己所說的內(nèi)容很感興趣。

The mistress tried to overturn a conviction of harassment originally issued by the Court of Potenza in 2013.

這名女子試圖推翻波坦察法院在2013年對其作出的騷擾罪判決。

However, Italy's Supreme Court in Rome ruled that the fact the wife did not interrupt the calls "cannot be seen as acquiescence on the wife's part, given the serious nature of what was being revealed."

不過，位于羅馬的意大利最高法院判決稱，“鑒于當(dāng)時電話中所說事情的嚴重性，”那位妻子沒有掛斷電話“并不能被看做默許。”

"The petulant and disturbing nature of the calls is shown in the anonymous forms they took," said the ruling.

判決書表示：“匿名電話的任性、騷擾本質(zhì)已顯露無疑。”

The court upheld the original conviction of harassment, with judges saying that an anonymous call to reveal an affair is a reprehensible act regardless of whether the claim is true.

法庭維持了原判，法官表示，用匿名電話揭露婚外情是一種不道德的行為，無論揭露的事實是否屬實。

The mistress called her lover's wife a total of three times, once from her office phone and twice from her mobile, to tell her that her husband had betrayed her many times and continued to do so. One call lasted 28 minutes, another 11 minutes.

這名女子一共給她情人的妻子打了三次電話，一次從辦公室電話打出，兩次用她的手機打出，在電話中她對那位妻子表示，她的丈夫已經(jīng)背叛過她很多次，而且并未停手。有一通電話持續(xù)了28分鐘，還有一通持續(xù)了11分鐘。

The wife, who cannot be named due to privacy laws, later decided to file a complaint and requested the examination of her phone records to trace the call.

那位妻子，因為隱私法原因不能透露其姓名，后來決定提起訴訟，并要求對其通話記錄進行徹查以追蹤到呼叫人。

According to a 2010 survey, half of Italians have extramarital affairs. The study by the Italian Association for Family Lawyers found that 55 per cent of men and 45 per cent of women cheat on their wives or husbands.

據(jù)2010年的一項調(diào)查顯示，半數(shù)意大利人有過婚外情。由意大利家庭律師協(xié)會進行的這項調(diào)查同時發(fā)現(xiàn)，55%的男性和45%的女性都曾出軌。

In around half of cases, cheating partners are found out through indiscreet mobile phone text messages, emails betray one in five and a further one in 10 are given away by anonymous letters.

在半數(shù)的出軌案件中，出軌一方是被言辭不檢的手機短信出賣的，被郵件出賣者占五分之一，另有十分之一是被匿名信揭露的。
