A judge, 36, has been suspended for two months after having an affair and injuring his wife who questioned his faithfulness.

The Supreme Court said Wednesday it took disciplinary action against the judge, whose identity is being withheld, for tarnishing the court's reputation.

According to the court, the judge had an extramarital affair for nearly four years with the woman (July 2014-February 2018) and hurt his wife, who apparently suspected him of cheating and asked for his mobile phone.

Separately, the court took a salary reduction measure against another judge for driving under the influence.
