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.

I guess that law flows both ways yes?? Watch out ladies!! Shutting down access after the vows are taken may be a thing of the past..

"....ex-wife then took him back to court demanding 10,000 euros in compensation for "lack of sex over 21 years of marriage"

how did she work that figure out?

Mmmmmm.......Quick research:

Average sex per week = 2 or 3 times.

So going rate would be around 75 euros per jump. (3,150 Baht)

But, if (like me) you are at it once a day, it would work out a bit cheaper = 0.76 cents (30 Baht)

What about when the wife withholds her sexual favors?

Does he get a rebate?

that 8500 Euro might be worth it

You being the first I guess. Kind of hoped for a better comment though. :jap:

What a stupid judge. Can we expect lawsuits for a slew of 'non-providence of services'?

In that judge's jurisdiction, here are some things a divorced man can demand damages for - from his ex-wife.......

>>> not washing dishes often enough

>>> not mopping floors often enough

>>> not preparing the bed

>>> not cleaning windows

>>> not washing the car

>>> not showering well enough, thereby smelling up the house.

>>> not providing neck and foot massages at least 5 times per week.

That judge is an imbecile. He should be locked up in a small room with that woman for a month - as retribution.

a Vietnam vet friend would tell me: Whether they're whores or your wife - you pay for 'em either way.

From reading this thread it would seem logical that he'd need to take her to court

But im sure any self respecting Frenchman would surrender to the wife before taking on such drastic action

My wife must owe me about a million baht by now.

On the other hand she feeds me well so it is about even.
