The woman, who had three children by her lover, pretended for years that they were fathered by her husband, according to reports. After years of suspecting his of infidelity, the husband who can't be named, finally discovered she had kept a lover for six of the fourteen years the couple had been together.
DNA tests showed that three of their four children had been fathered by the other man, the Times reports. The husband then took his wife to court, demanding compensation.

The court in Valencia, Spain, ordered her to pay $125,350 for the suffering she caused him. She fought the ruling, but the supreme court has upheld it, and doubled the damages to $250,500. Judges said that the compensation should be "higher than if the children had been killed in an accident".
