In 1928, a Pennsylvania court ruled that a woman could sue her husband for
giving her syphilis. Sounds ancient, right? But this case literally created the
foundation for holding partners legally accountable for knowingly transmitting diseases. Fast forward to
today, and we're seeing the exact same legal principles applied to modern STI
transmission cases. The wild part? Most people have no idea they have legal recourse
when someone knowingly infects them. This century-old ruling proved that consent isn't just about
the act itself, but about the full truth of what you're consenting to.
It shattered the idea that marriage or relationships create a legal shield for harm.
