A woman, who was blamed by French courts for her divorce because she no longer had sex with her husband, has won an appeal in Europe’s top human rights court, the court said on Thursday, reigniting a debate in France over women’s rights.

[Lawyer, Lilia Mhissen] “This decision marks the abolition of the marital duty and the archaic, canonical vision of the family,” she said in a statement. “Courts will finally stop interpreting French law through the lens of canon law and imposing on women the obligation to have sexual relations within marriage.”

    I also think exit contracts (like a pre-nup) should be agreed on and signed as part of the marriage contract. Marriage is a business contract. Both parties should agree to the exit terms before entering into the contract.

    This is a pretty good way to spot a person who you shouldn’t marry, too. “If we get divorced, you’re fucked” in writing is pretty clear.
