CRIMINAL CONVERSATION
(bouvier) | CRIMINAL CONVERSATION, crim. law. This phrase is usually employed to denote
the crime of adultery. It is abbreviated crim. con. Bac. Ab. Marriage, E 2;
4 Blackf. R. 157.
2. The remedy for criminal conversation is, by an action on the case
for damages. That the plaintiff connived, or assented to, his wife's
infidelity, or that he prostituted her for gain, is a complete answer to the
action. See Connivance. But the facts that the wife's character for chastity
was bad before the plaintiff married her; that he lived with her after he
knew of the criminal intimacy with the defendant; that he had connived at
her intimacy with other men;, or that the plaintiff had been false to his
wife, only go in mitigation of damages. 4 N. Hamp. R. 501.
3. The wife cannot maintain an action for criminal conversation with
her husband; and for this, among other reasons, because her husband, who is
particeps criminis, must be joined with her as plaintiff.
