A North Carolina law is sparking debate because it allows people to sue a third party for breaking up a marriage. These “homewrecker” laws — including alienation of affection — don’t require proof of an affair; even emotional involvement can be enough. The issue gained attention after a woman sued former senator Kyrsten Sinema over a relationship with her husband. The state is one of the few in the U.S. that still allows such lawsuits, and payouts can be huge, with past cases awarding millions of dollars. Supporters say the law protects marriage and deters harmful behaviour, while critics argue it’s outdated, unfair and often misused. Efforts to repeal it have been proposed but face resistance.
