English: Tokyo District Court ruled in a lawsuit filed by Happy Science against Bungeishunju and Hirosi Okawa for damages, etc., in connection with an interview article with Hiroshi Okawa published by Bungeishunju in the February 28, 2019 issue of Bungeishunju's Weekly Bunshun (February 28, 2019). Tokyo District Court ruled that the content of the article "cannot be acknowledged to be true" and, on the grounds that this was a joint tort by the two parties, ordered Hiroshi Okawa and Bungeishunju to pay 3.3 million yen in damages. In particular, the judgment stated that, with regard to "forced marriage," "Although the past marriages were love marriages and there was no such forced marriage, the defendant Hiroshi's statement that he was forced to marry a specific person, Shimizu, is undeniably unnatural" and "The defendant Hiroshi's statement cannot be immediately trusted". The report also pointed out Bungeishunju's responsibility for publishing the article without conducting corroborating interviews, saying that "Bungeishunju published the article relying only on the statement of the defendant Hiroshi, who had already broken off from the plaintiff," when it was necessary to carefully examine the credibility of the statement based on his past marriage history and other factors.
