Imagine the fallout if this happened in Canada?

Man fined for not having enough sex with his wife (in France)

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/man-fined-depriving-wife-sex-071210735.html

"London, Sep 7 (IANS) A man has been ordered to pay his ex-wife thousands of pounds in damages for failing to have enough sex with her during their 21-years of marriage.The 51-year-old has been fined 8,500 pounds under article 215 of France's civil code, which states married couples must agree to a 'shared communal life', Daily Express reported.
The judge ruled that this law implies '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 ex's lack of activity in the bedroom.
A judge had granted the divorce and ruled the husband, named only as Jean-Louis B, was solely responsible for the split. But his 47-year-old former wife then took him back to court demanding the cash in compensation for 'lack of sex over 21 years of marriage'.
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.'"

I wonder what the battlecry would be if the roles were reversed and a wife was fined for not having enough sex with her husband?

Jesus, I figure the women's rights advovates would put a bounty on the judge's head lol....

She won :shock:

That is so idiotic. I am hoping he appeals or is this a late April fool's joke.

I wonder if the judge made his decision based on her looks. If she was ugly he probably would have dropped it.




That was bad :

Can you imagine though? The guy's in court and the judge says: stand up

He stands up

Addressing the ex husband the judge says:

You failed to have the necessary sexual relations with your wife, do you have anything to say?

Yeah, can you BLAME me?

I don't even know what to think of this... I wonder if the verdict would be the same if the guy was divorcing the girl for lack of sex.

do you think barbara will ask her lawyer to seek similar compensation for lack of sex from her soon to ex hubby? Just kidding barbara!

 

[Manah]

This is what I mean about having the roles reversed and having it occur in Canada. Jesus, can you imagine the protests from women's groups? I can see the headlines now "judge orders women to become sexual slaves".....

: the judge probably wanted to bang the ex wife so he threw her a prize.

 

[Daisuki]

The judge probably figured out that the hubby was probably seeing SP's instead of banging his old lady.:he:
