European Court Rules in Favor of French Woman Refusing Sex in Divorce Case
In a landmark ruling, the European Court of Human Rights has determined that a French woman who refused to engage in sexual relations with her husband is not at fault for their divorce. This decision overturns a previous ruling that held her responsible for the marriage breakdown due to her lack of sexual intimacy. The court emphasized that a refusal to have sex cannot be grounds for divorce, affirming the importance of individual privacy rights and personal choice in marriage. This case marks a significant victory in the ongoing debate over marital rights and obligations.
