Man Sues Estranged Wife For Return of Donated Kidney 15
Richard Batista, 49, is suing his estranged wife, 44-year-old Dawnell Batista, for the return of a kidney he donated to her in 2001 or the sum of $1.5 million. After discovering that his wife had an affair with her physical therapist in 2003, Mr. Batista lost that loving feeling and now wants the organ back. "I saved her life and then to be betrayed like this is unfathomable. It's incomprehensible," he told the Post. "She engaged in an extramarital affair and refused to go to marital counseling and reconciliation."

Can you prove it was made under false pretenses? The donation was in 2001, the affair was in 2003. Things happen.

I'm going to guess their wedding vows and expectation of marriage which is what the donation was made under included a no-cheating clause...
