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.
 The European Court of Human Rights judgment ruled that the woman — known as Ms. H.W. in court documents in keeping with European protocol — suffered a violation of Article 8 under the European Convention on Human Rights, the right to respect for family and private life.
 The case centered on the divorce between the woman, a French national born in 1955 who lives in Le Chesnay, near Versailles, and her husband, known in court records as Mr. J.C.
 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. He counterclaimed, arguing that she had made slanderous accusations against him and “failed to fulfill her marital duties.”
 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.
 She appealed the case within France but was rejected, and in March 2021, she took it to the human rights court.
   

 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?
