A French woman has won a ruling from Europe’s top human rights court, with a panel of seven judges unanimously saying she should not have been blamed in her divorce for not having sex with her husband.

In 2015, she petitioned to the Versailles High Court for divorce on the grounds of fault, alleging that her husband had prioritized his career over family life and been bad-tempered and insulting, according to an ECHR statement.

The divorce was granted in November 2019 by the Versailles Court of Appeal, with the fault attributed to the woman on the basis that not having sex with her husband constituted a “serious and repeated breach of marital duties and obligations, making it impossible to continue in a state of matrimony,” the ECHR said.

 What's the point in marriage then? I think it is pretty obvious that a married woman has the duty to pleasure her husband when he wants it.
 If not, society would rupture and the whore-industry would become the dominant industry.

Exactly! If that is going to be the case, might as well as abolish the institution of marriage. It's a woman's duty to keep he man happy and if she's not doing that, then why bother?
