Privacy in the home?

Interesting story regarding privacy in the home:

A Dubuque man who secretly videotaped his wife in their bedroom must pay her $22,500 for invasion of privacy, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled Friday in the couple's divorce case.
I found some good commentary on the matter as well with some additional details:
“Even before their marriage, Jeffrey and Cathy had recorded each other’s telephone conversations without the other’s knowledge and consent. Apparently undeterred by their history of discord, they were married on December 31, 1999. Jeffrey surreptitiously installed recording equipment and recorded Cathy’s activities during the marriage in the marital home.”
These sorts of stories always make me wonder what is going through some people's heads. I can't say I disagree with the outcome of this one.
