德國法庭判定 三陪男隱私權高於孩子贍養權

A woman who got pregnant after having sex with a male escort in a German hotel has failed in a legal battle to find out his name.

一名女子在德國的一家賓館中與一名三陪男發生性關係後懷孕。但是，在法庭上，她所提出的調查孩子的父親是誰的訴求被駁回。

The hotel where they spent three nights in 2010, in the city of Halle, does not have to tell her the man's name, a court in Munich ruled.

慕尼黑一家法院裁定，他們2010年在哈雷市共度了三個晚上的那家賓館，不必向女方透露該男子的姓名。

The man's right to privacy outweighed the woman's claim for child support payments from him, the ruling said.

該裁決稱，與女方向男方索要孩子撫養費的訴求相比，男方的隱私權更加重要。

She knew him as "Michael" but three other Michaels were also at the hotel.

她只知道孩子的父親叫“邁克爾”，但在當天，那家賓館裏還有另外三個叫“邁克爾”的男人入住。

Each of the four Michaels had a right to "control their own data and protect their own marriage and family", the ruling said.

法院裁決稱，這四位“邁克爾先生”都有權“掌管自己的信息以免泄露，來保護自己的婚姻和家庭生活”。

The woman - not named in the case - said she had got pregnant after staying with "Michael" in a room on the second floor. She now has a seven-year-old son called Joel.

在這起案件中沒有透露姓名的該女子稱，她在與“邁克爾先生”在酒店二樓的房間內發生關係後懷孕。而現在，她的兒子約耳已經七歲了。

The court decided that her lack of detail about the man raised the risk of personal data "simply being released at random".

法庭判決，由於她提供的關於該名男子的信息有限，進行調查有很大風險會導致個人信息“被隨意泄露”。

German privacy laws are among the strictest in Europe. It is partly a legacy of history - under the Nazis, then later under the communist East German regime, there was intrusive mass surveillance, with grievous human rights abuses.

德國的隱私法是全歐洲最嚴格的，部分原因是歷史遺留問題--在納粹時期以及後來東德的社會主義統治時期，當時對民衆的過分監視極大地損害了人權。
