A South Korean court in Seoul ordered PGA Tour golfer Kevin Na to pay his ex-fiancée 200 million won (about US$170,000) after the athlete broke off the engagement.

The two met through a dating agency back in 2013 and were engaged soon afterward. They traveled together from tournament to tournament and Na’s fiancee said that expense totaled 100 million won ($85,000)

After Na broke up with her, she filed a 500 million won ($420,000) lawsuit for financial damages among other legal grounds.

She said that Na notified her over the phone and quoted him as saying, “I don’t love you.”

Her case also stated that their relationship was a form of “sexual slavery” and that Na used intercourse as a way to relieve stress as he does not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol.

    What’s the justification for $170,000?
    Why is that women are always considered the victim?
