Guest guest Posted July 17, 2001 Report Share Posted July 17, 2001 HIV damages for wife: The Pioneer, New Delhi-6 July 2001; JOHANNESBURG: The South African High Court has ordered a man to pay his wife nearly one million rand in damages for infecting her with HIV. Judge Naren Pandya had awarded a Durban housewife 958,689 rand (116,400 dollar) for pain and suffering, in the first case ever in which a married woman had claimed damages after her husband intentionally infected her with the AIDS virus. The husband intentionally infected her with the AIDS virus. The woman had met her future husband, while on holiday in Mozambique in 1995 and married three years later. She said her husband, who was sick from the time they met, had kept his HIV status a secret from her. ____________________________________ Forwarded by: " Dr.Jagdish Harsh " <jamworld@...> FXB-INDIA 161 Satya Niketan Moti Bagh II New Delhi-21 fxbindia@... www.fxb.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
