This is Kida. Let me answer. Yes, it can happen. If you knowingly enter into an affair with a married man, his wife may be able to claim compensation from you. The same applies even if you were receiving an allowance. She could potentially demand around ¥500,000 as compensation for the emotional distress you caused her. That’s why a smart woman will either avoid asking whether the man is married, or, if she finds out, take precautions such as having him sign a written promise saying, “If this comes to light, I’ll also cover your compensation,” and finding a lawyer she can consult. I’ve even read that professional mistresses set aside about 10% of the allowance they receive to cover legal fees. But this isn’t limited to dating clubs, so everyone should be careful. Love is blind. Everyone thinks, “That could never happen to me,” but love is like the flu—you may one day find yourself falling for a married man. Getting used to situations like this through a dating club is a kind of vaccine against love.
