A (male) Utah judge ruled a man could keep the nude photos his ex-wife gave him during their marriage. The images will be altered by a third-party, but the ex-wife must keep the albums until her ex-husband weighs in on the "fairness" of the alterations.

Lindsay Marsh remembers feeling shocked and confused when she looked at the list of items her ex-husband wanted as part of their divorce. He was asking for boudoir albums, intimate images she had taken years earlier in their marriage and given to him as a gift.

They had been married for 25 years. But after filing for divorce last April, Marsh couldn’t wait to get rid of the albums — and didn’t understand why he would want them.

Her ex-husband, Chris Marsh, said he wanted to keep the loving messages she wrote to him inside those bound books.

So a Davis County judge made an unusual order that the woman said made her feel violated: He directed her to give the boudoir albums to the original photographer to be edited and then give them to her ex-husband.

“That person is to do whatever it takes to modify the pages of the pictures so that any photographs of [Lindsay Marsh] in lingerie or that sort of thing or even without clothing are obscured and taken out,” 2nd District Judge Michael Edwards wrote in a ruling shared with The Salt Lake Tribune, “but the words are maintained for memory’s sake.”

5. True, they're his. And if he had any decency, he'd give them back. (n/t)

3. Another case of government invading someone's bedroom

So, the third party will see this woman naked. She gets to feel violated all over again.

7. The 'third party' already saw all the pictures

The third party is the original photographer.

4. Whatever it takes? No problem!

A quick coat of house paint over the photos, and the problem is solved.

6. The ex is doing this to humiliate and debase her.

To cause ongoing pain and misery.

8. I would think a gift is a gift.

I'm surprised the judge will allow them to be edited. I assume they are being edited to conceal the spicy bits which seems to favor the wife.

Divorces are messy things.
