Sex-Deprived Wife Wins Divorce Case ROME (Reuters) - An Italian woman whose angry husband refused for seven years to have sex with her was awarded divorce damages by Italy's high court. Francesco launched his "sex strike" in the early 1990s to punish his wife, Piera, for taking sides against him in a family dispute over money, according to details of the case reported by local media. They bitterly separated in 2000 and Francesco, still convinced that she was responsible for the broken marriage, refused to make support payments demanded by Italian courts and repeatedly appealed against them. But the highest court ruled last week that Francesco's sexual punishment did not fit the crime, and doomed Piera to perpetual frustration. "The refusal of affection or sexual attention must constitute the blame for the separation," the court ruled. For Piera, "satisfaction in life (was) impossible ... along with fulfillment of marriage in its deepest sense." Beyond support payments, Francesco must pay court costs of several thousand euros.
If he wouldn't give it she should have just got it elsewhere, but that's me. I'd expect the same treatment if I wouldn't have sex with my spouse.
Yikes! I think I was just reading a thread like this in another forum! I really have to learn to knock before I open the door...
Lol , sounds just like an episode of "The Office" , where Michael withdrew sex from Jan if he doesn't get a raise/promo.
Sex is part of the reason people get married.If there is no sex then clearly the marriage has problems and the relationship is dysfunctional.You can be sure there were other problems as well for there not be to any sex for so long.Just as well that the marriage was dissolved.
