Forums - General Discussion - French Dude Forced to Pay Ex-Wife Damages for Not Having Enough Sex With Her

Frenchman ordered to pay wife damages for lack of sex

A Frenchman has been ordered to pay his ex-wife £8,500 in damages for failing to have enough sex with her during their marriage.

The 51-year-old man was fined under article 215 of France’s civil code, which states married couples must agree to a “shared communal life”.

A judge has now ruled that this law implies that “sexual relations must form part of a marriage”.

The rare legal decision came after the wife filed for divorce two years ago, blaming the break-up on her husband’s lack of activity in the bedroom.

A judge in Nice, southern France, then granted the divorce and ruled the husband named only as Jean-Louis B. was solely responsible for the split.

But the 47-year-old ex-wife then took him back to court demanding 10,000 euros in compensation for “lack of sex over 21 years of marriage”.

The ex-husband claimed “tiredness and health problems” had prevented him from being more attentive between the sheets.

But a judge in the south of France’s highest court in Aix-en-Provence ruled: “A sexual relationship between husband and wife is the expression of affection they have for each other, and in this case it was absent.

“By getting married, couples agree to sharing their life and this clearly implies they will have sex with each other.”

Funny. I would've loved to see the verdict if a man would sue his wife for the same reasons (and considering how often men complain about their wives not puting out, you'd think this happened more often). He'd probably be called shallow, and a jerk, and he'd be blamed for not getting his wife interested enough. And of course the case would be dismissed.

What a retarded law.



Bullshit, like you said if a man were to sue his wife over the same event he would be shunned and looked at with disgust.

Just saying the revolution is coming, we have to start it!

You can't force someone to have sex with you, even if you're married. This is something women have been saying for decades, and that's precisely why the whole ideea of 'marital rape' was invented. This just makes them look like hypocrites.

You have got to be kidding me.

First off, I cannot believe somebody gets sued for this.

Second, why the fuck doesn't the guy just screw her more often? You're tired....really?



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

That's the excuse women usually use. Guess they don't like getting a taste of ther own medicine.

Sigh... The French...

Sigh... Women...

:P

This is really pathetic, though. The judge is a complete fruit-basket and this is one of the worst rulings I've heard of in a long while.



bahahahahahahaha

Oh world.
You're so silly.
