After 30 years of marriage, a woman was blamed for the divorce by a French court due to her refusal to engage in sexual relations. In a landmark ruling, the European Court of Human Rights overturned this decision, citing violations of her right to private life and autonomy. The ruling emphasized that consent to marriage does not imply consent to ongoing sexual relations. Advocates for women's rights see this as a pivotal moment for addressing sexual violence and marital obligations under French law.
The European Court of Human Rights condemned the ruling, stating that it violated the woman's right to private life and autonomy, including her sexual life.
Women's rights activists hailed the court's decision as a milestone in addressing France's marital laws related to sexual obligations in marriage.
