Compensatio Criminis Definition
The compensation or set-off of one crime against another. For example, in questions of divorce, where one party claims the divorce on the ground of adultery of his or her companion, the latter may show that the complainant has been guilty of the same offense, and, having himself violated the contract, cannot complain of its violation on the other side. This principle is incorporated in the codes of most civilized nations. See 1 Hagg. Consist. 144; 1 Hagg. Ecc. 714; 2 Paige Ch. (N. y.) 108; 2 Dev. & B. (N. C.) 64; Bish. Mar. & Div. §1 393, 394.
