Tennessee Woman Sues Her Husband For Getting Her Pregnant
A trial is set for a new lawsuit filed last week after a wife decided to sue her husband of 15 years after he got her pregnant. Tracy Smith, a resident of Jackson, is taking her husband Carl to court after he accidentally got her pregnant. The case is not about rape, but rather an alleged action ofÂ  âpersonal neglect,â after Smithâs husband promised not to get her pregnant.âHe told me he wouldnât get me pregnant, but here we are and Iâm pissed,â said Smith. âI love the man to death, but this is serious neglect on his part, and he will pay for what he has done to me!âThe lawsuit was filed on Tuesday, but Smithâs husband and his lawyer donât think that the judge will take this case too seriously.âThis is a very strange case, and to be honest my client shouldnât be fined or charged for something some people would kill for,â said Harvey Feinstein, the defendantâs lawyer. âIt takes at least two people to perform intercourse, and each party should be responsible for their safety and well-being. If Mrs. Smith didnât want to get pregnant, there were many ways that she could have taken her own precautions against it. Relying solely on her husband to wear a condom or to pull-out is just ridiculous.âAttorneys for both sides are set to make their opening arguments to the judge on August 5th. Mrs. Smith is seeking damages in the amount of $25,000, and if she wins her case, the money cannot come from their joint account.Carl Smith has denied to comment on what he calls âthe stupidest thing thatâs happened to him since he got married in the first place.â
