What is the term used to describe a person that disrupts or interferes with the marriage of another? I read it while browsing a Law Dictionary- I can't remember the term- I think it is an antiquated term or phrase.

Maybe you mean alienation of affections. It's an old law that dealt with a man enticing a wife to leave her husband. You could sue civilly for it, but most states have abolished the right to sue.

The concept is "Alienation of Affection". It was often the basis of lawsuits decades ago but is pretty much unheard of today. The person would typically be called an "interloper".

She's right= some southern states still have such laws, going back to a time when women were property
