I enjoy reading different kinds of law & judgment from old & new sources in my leisure time. Yesterday, I read one, related with facebook, which was really interesting. What could be our judgment, if it had happened in Bangladesh!?
Let’s enjoy the developed country’s case….. I’ve prepared the news briefly for my DIU forum people.
Husband was Ordered by the Magistrate to Post Facebook Apologies to Wife to Avoid Jail
Go to jail; or post public Facebook apology to wife, every day --- this difficult choice was given by an Ohio Magistrate to a husband, named, Mark Byron.
Mark Byron, frustrated by divorce and child-custody proceedings, lashed out in a Facebook post. The part of the post was: "If you are an evil, vindictive woman who wants to ruin your husband's life and take your son's father away from him completely -- all you need to do is say that you're scared of your husband..."
Byron's post, and friends’ comments on it, made estranged wife Elizabeth Byron feel "afraid," court documents state, according to the Enquirer. The post violated a restraining order that barred Mark from causing his wife "mental abuse, harassment, or annoyance," the court found.
"It's outlandish," Byron told The Cincinnati Enquirer. "I'm afraid to do anything. People are even fearful that Facebook can be regulated by a judge." But a judge affirmed the magistrate's ruling, and found the Facebook apology fitting in Byron's case. Byron had blasted his wife in an earlier rant on Facebook, which violated a restraining order, the judge ruled.
Now, Mark Byron is complying with the court's order, and has posted the court-approved Facebook apology every day since the ruling. More than 200 words long, five-paragraph apology is not only the exceptional kind of punishment; it’s a new addition to the field of law & justice which any one can find in Mark Byron’s Facebook page.
