In view of the rupture of the marital duty and the end of the marriage, the betrayed spouse may go to court to obtain compensation, claiming to have suffered embarrassment, suffering or any other type of moral damage arising from the act of infidelity committed by the violating spouse, but it remains to know and analyze when it is really a question of setting up moral damage or if the betrayed spouse is not just wanting to have a punishment applied, in view of the unfaithful act of which he/she was a victim.
