Question: My husband and I have filed for divorce in court and are waiting for the court to decide. However, during this time, my husband has been living with another woman as husband and wife. Will my husband be punished?

Reply:According to point b, clause 1, article 59 of Decree 82/2020/ND-CP, a fine of 3-5 million VND will be imposed for the following acts: "Having a wife or husband but living with another person as husband and wife".
According to Clause 1, Article 57 of the 2014 Law on Marriage and Family, it is stipulated that: “The marriage relationship ends from the date the court's divorce judgment or decision takes legal effect".
In your case, you and your husband are currently in the process of divorce, but have not ended your marriage, so you are still considered husband and wife.
Therefore, when going through divorce proceedings and the husband lives with another person as husband and wife, he will be fined from 3 to 5 million VND according to the provisions of Decree 82/2020/ND-CP mentioned above.
