Sometimes, common sense really does prevail.
As seen in Insurance Journal:
South Dakota’s public policy prevents insurance from covering damages in lawsuits against those accused of stealing another’s spouse, the state Supreme Court ruled Thursday.
The high court’s unanimous decision said an Aberdeen doctor cannot make an insurance company protect him against a lawsuit that alleges he stole another man’s wife.
South Dakota public policy does not allow people to shift financial responsibility to insurance companies for their own intentional actions, the Supreme Court said. Alienation of affections is conduct that should not be encouraged by allowing people the financial protection provided by insurance, the court said.
What I want to know is how such a case actually made it as far as a state Supreme Court.
