A woman who sued her former partner after he agreed to cover the cost of their mutually agreed abortion has been awarded $12,500, with a judge saying he “must share equally in the burden.”
The couple in question met via a marriage guidance service in 2007, and dated for only one month before splitting up.
However, it later emerged that in this short time the women had been made pregnant, and the couple agreed that the best course of action was to end the pregnancy.
The man formally signed his agreement to the procedure, and agreed to cover 30,000 yen of the cost, even accompanying her to the columbarium to pay his respects to the remains.
However, it appears this was not satisfactory to the woman, and she later demanded consolation money from the man, which he refused to pay. She then sued him.
The judge subsequently ordered him to pay 1,140,000 yen in compensation for the distress the woman underwent, saying:
“As the woman’s pain and burden were something you jointly caused, you should equally share in shouldering the burden.”
The man “behaved sincerely, but did not fulfill his obligations as a father in leaving the choice of whether to have the child to the woman.”
The man appealed the verdict, but was rejected. The woman’s lawyer hailed the decision as “a significant verdict which upholds the responsibility of a man.”

WTF? Wow... That... wow
lol and i thought only American judges are that retarded
well if the law is anything like in the states... that money will be heavily taxed by the government. AND reported as gross income. so maybe the japanese government just wants more money.
oh oh and in relation to other articles... this just promotes the whole idea of men preferring anime girls more huh.
i mean with all the stupid shit that happens to men when dealing with jap women, getting harsher fines and penalties... its no wonder jap guys prefer anime girls, they got some fucked up society....
lets put them on the endangered species list.
If you place them in the endangered species list, it won't take long for people to include them on culinary cuisine dishes :D
Leave Korea out of this!
I see what u did there. x3
You mean because Korea protests the Japanese eating the endangered Fin Whale?
Uh, it's still cheaper than the alternative.
Getting back to the subject though, this is yet another example of how men are pretty damn disadvantageously positioned in modern society. I have great respect for those women that fought for women's rights back in the day, but it's been taken much too far. On top of that, I've noticed men hardly ever complain about this kind of thing. And when they do, women strike them down immediately using the "fact" that apparently men still have more power.
+1
Yah it does seem being retarded is a requirement for being a judge go figure maybe society is on it's way down the crapper like Rome.
The judge was from Equality Now.
oh sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!
"My body, my choice" = You pay for "oven cleaning"
amirite, feminazis?
Whether or not he should've paid depends on how she got pregnant, and why the relationship ended after a month.
If he was some douche bag looking for a quick girlfriend, then he should pay.
If she was some sneaky whore, screw her problems.
If they're both like that, they should split the bill 50/50
critical reading is a bounce
The man formally signed his agreement to the procedure, and agreed to cover 30,000 yen of the cost, even accompanying her to the columbarium to pay his respects to the remains
she then Sued him for MORE cash.. and got away with it... tbh BS
Begin single is PURE WIN!
Holy fuck, that's one EXPENSIVE abortion!
Plus the "damages" award... stunning.
Best to bank your sperm, then get yourself sterilized to avoid any spendy "accidents".
Lol, Y30,000 for an abortion?
They punish the unfulfilled obligations of the father and not the abortion itself... Sweet isn't it?
That's about $298 in usd.
i wish yen:usd conversion was what you think it was
things would be a lot cheaper
It's more like $325, I think, but that's really splitting hairs... are you sure that YOU understand yen:usd conversion? A pretty good rule of thumb is that a yen is about the value of a penny.
your right $325.65 exactly
i dunno. i was just assuming because of the shit economy, that the dollar was low at the moment. sorry. =/
Good, if your man enough to cum inside you man enough to take care of what comes out, in this case kill.
I think the point you are missing is that he is getting dinged for "emotional suffering" of the woman after a pre-arranged agreement because he let her have a say in the abortion.
You, quite sadly, missed the point, and made yourself look idiotic in the process.
You're retarded.
i think they need to teach critical reading in school more
Wow..so now we're paying money to "console"...? This has to stop somewhere. Male-female relations are strained enough as it is without stuff like this making it worse.
Coat hangers don't even cost a dollar...
Wut? You leik fucking coat hangers? O_o
Draken? I'm confused by your post. You do know coat hangers are used for abortions (without a doctor).
But then the guy would still have to pay for the emotional stress given to the woman haha.
Nah if it was a back alley abortion he wouldn't have signed an agreement.
So basically he did his duty paying his half of the abortion for their mistake and she want to abuse the legal system to make money.
Oh god.
No you little faggot missed the point or in this case life lesson
women come with fucking risk know that. if you ever been in a fucking relation ship you would know this but you dont. Think befor you wanna fuck a woman make sure thats the chick you wanna bang cause shit comes down the road like this. and you just have to man the fuck up and stop bitching. thats life sorry its not some magical 2d world.
You don't seem to grasp what this article is about at all.
Jeez if only he had made an agreement with her before hand or something... The judge was making a decision based on his opinion and nothing to do with law.
More or less the judge just said contracts don't mean shit, I can do what I want.
BTW he shared in the burden. The 30,000 yen to pay for half the abortion.
As the woman’s pain and burden were something you jointly caused, you should equally share in shouldering the burden
Say what ever shit you want judge,no one can equaly share the pain with a women unless he suddenly became a women and went through the same stuff.
Money doesn't make any difference about that,she will only lead a little better life with that after this.
More importantly the:
"As the woman’s pain and burden were something you jointly caused, you should equally share in shouldering the burden"
is a total load of shit, if she had taken her pill like a responsible person she never would have had the "pain and burden" to deal with. People need to take responsibility for there own fucking mistakes.
If he had used a condom the way he was supposed to as a responsible person, he never would've been fucked over a barrel like this to begin with.
Leaving that rubber in the shrinkwrap doesn't do jackshit from keeping the baby spackle from settling in the woman's womb, does it? Now... not all people are ignorant about using prophylactics like any sane, responsible adult should, but.... fuck, if you prefer skin to latex, you get what you paid for, IMHO.
It is bullshit, but he had a hand in his own downfall too.
so the man's at fault for taking the woman at her word that she was taking the pill?
what th... oh wait. yea. That sounds about right actually. Never take a woman at her word.
This is why men need out on pill.
What are you talking about?
Its not even on the article the man asked if the woman was on the pill.
You are assuming things now.
Dude condoms break and the pill is not a guarantee, hell on some women it barely works at all. When that failed to happen that was what the abortion was for. I'm sorry but no baby, he paid half, case closed.
Where in the article did it ever mention anything about her claiming to be on the pill? Where the hell are you pulling this ridiculous excuse from?
Don't try and peg it all on the woman, they were both idiots. Even better than the pill or a condom, don't fuck someone you aren't willing to have a child with. It works wonders.
Yeah, that amount is bullshit, this is coming from a woman, but this is reality, when you take risks and screw up you pay for it. Sucks for him that he picked the wrong chick to get preggo but I'm sure it wasn't a cakewalk for her either.
Um you all seem to be missing the point. They both were at fault for the pregnancy, and because of that they both agreed and paid for the abortion. That should have been the end of the story, but the woman either regretted her agreement or wanted to make some money, and she decided to sue the man for no reason.
She agreed for the abortion and signed an agreement with him. That should have protected him, saying this was her decision as well, but instead the judge used it against him somehow and had him unjustly fined, off of emotional costs. She could have had the baby and put it out for adoption, or had the baby and made him pay for child support. But she didn't it was her choice to abort the baby, so her emotional costs should be invalid.
Not to mention each person is different. The father of the child could go through emotional pain of aborting his child as well, but no one would care about that.
hahahaha, what are you smoking?
What a load of shit. Next time just use falcon punch.
The one thing that helps is that the Japanese civil courts are completely toothless, he'll never HAVE to pay a yen. eg the guy who created 2ch has been sued for millions of dollars, but since it's not a criminal case the police can't knock on his door.
He should of said here is my contribution falcon punch and not the 30,000 yen.
