*A two year barring order was granted to the woman. 

A JUDGE has granted a barring order to a woman against her ‘jealous’ husband who forced her to take a lie detector test due to his belief that she was with other men.

At the Family Law Court, Judge Vincent Deane granted the two year barring order to the woman who told the judge that her husband “is very violent and aggressive when he was wants to be, very aggressive because of his jealously”.

The woman said, “Recently, he accused me of being with other men”.

She told Judge Deane, “He forced me to take a lie detector test as he thinks I am with other men.”

Asked by Judge Deane where would you go for a lie detector test, the woman said, “It is very complicated – and very stupid. He drove me to Galway to take the lie detector test”.

The woman said that her husband has beaten her up as well. She said, “He punched me and kicked me”.

The woman said that after obtaining an interim barring order against her husband recently, he left the home.

The woman said that her husband has tried to contact her through a child’s phone.

The woman said, “I haven’t been speaking to him but he wants to talk to me through the kid’s phone”.

The man didn’t turn up in court to contest the barring order application.

The barring order prohibits the man from entering the family home and engaging in further violence or threats of violence against the woman.

After hearing the woman’s uncontested evidence, Judge Deane said, “I am satisfied the threshold has been met for a Barring Order and I put it in place for two years”.

In a separate and unrelated case, Judge Deane granted a protection order to a woman against her son who made threats about trying to burn the house down, smash the windows in the house and threatening to kill her adult daughter.

The woman said that her son’s behaviour is ‘escalating’. The woman said that her son in her 20s left home four years ago.

The woman said that her son “is not welcome and not invited” to the family home.

Judge Deane told the woman that if her son breaches the order “contact the Gardaí”.

Judge Deane said that the Gardaí will serve the Protection Order on the man.

Judge Deane told the woman “Keep yourself safe”.
