Criminal conversation is a common law tort where one spouse could sue a person who committed adultery with the other spouse for damages based on the alienation of affection and loss of fidelity the adulterous relation caused. Actual loss of affection did not have to be proved. Thes actions were later abolished in just about every state by laws called "Heart Balm Acts." New Jersey abolished criminal conversation as a tort in 1935. It also abolished the tort of "Seduction". Seduction is not a husband-wife tort. Seduction was a tort where a father could sue his unmarried daughter's seducer for damages he has suffered from the shame and humiliation of his daughter losing her virginity in such a scandalous and degrading way.
