A Thai woman's unique approach to handling her husband's infidelity became a viral sensation after she appeared on a popular television programme to discuss her 'husband-lease' proposal
Following the discovery of a long-term affair, the 31-year-old wife — identified as Khun — offered to rent her husband to his mistress for a monthly fee of 30,000 baht, approximately RM3,660.
According to Khaosod, the story unfolded on the TV show Hone-Krasae, where Khun revealed that she had been married to her husband, a police officer, for 10 years.
Suspicion arose when her husband began spending significant time away from home, eventually prompting her to hire a private investigator for 10,000 baht per day to track his movements.
The investigator successfully located the husband at a residence in the Ramkhamhaeng area, confirming the existence of a mistress.
Rather than immediately pursuing a standard divorce, Khun presented a "rental" solution to the couple
The proposed arrangement included 15,000 baht from each party, totalling 30,000 baht (RM3,660) per month, in exchange for allowing them to live together.
When presented with the financial ultimatum, the mistress reportedly stated that "money is not an issue" and expressed a willingness to accept the terms.
Despite the mistress's agreement, the husband refused to sign the arrangement, claiming he had already given his family the house and car and intended to leave with nothing but his clothes.
Legal experts have been quick to clarify that such an agreement holds no weight in the Thai judicial system
Attorney Pat Anusorn Asurapong noted that a "husband-lease agreement" is legally invalid as it contradicts public order and moral standards.
Because Thailand's legal framework is strictly built on the principle of monogamy, any contract that effectively permits a spouse to maintain a romantic relationship for a fee cannot be enforced in court.
