Woman wiretaps son, catches cheating husband

ISTANBUL

A Turkish court has decided a woman, who wiretapped her son to prove her husband’s infidelity, will receive 30,000 Turkish Liras in material compensation. 

The woman, from Turkey’s western province of Izmir, was suspicious that her spouse, who continuously arrived home late and insisted on getting a divorce, was being unfaithful. 

According to reports by Turkey’s daily Bugün, the woman hacked into her spouse’s Facebook account and acquired material evidence of an ongoing affair. 

She then placed a covert listening device on her child’s overcoat when her husband planned a weekend getaway with his son and, as it turned out, his extramarital affair. 

Having acquired footage of the getaway, the woman filed for divorce. 

The court divorced the couple upon the first hearing and ruled that the woman was to receive material compensation.
