Is it proper to sue a spouse who leaks dirty secrets as court ruled?

The ruling by the Court of Appeal that barred a wife from speaking ill of her estranged spouse was long overdue. It will set a good example to individuals who make malicious comments about former spouses after falling out with them.

It is good to tame the bad conduct of people that may affect the lives of people they do not see eye-to-eye with. It is painful to be dismissed from work, simply because of a falsehood peddled by a bitter lover or an estranged wife or husband.
