Hate to say it, but she had a good case. Lying about that kind of thing is unconscionable. Sex is an extremely important part of marriage, and he wasn't capable.

[camle]

maybe he could have subcontracted those duties?

[BigFinn]

Cialis to the rescue.

[csvset]

Narrow urethra?

[DarkSavant]

Did the guy really think he could hide this after the wedding? What in blazes did he think a marriange involved? hugs?

[Paradox]

Courts just LOVE to invent "new fundamental rights", like one to sexuality. BAH! This is simply a matter of FRAUD, plain and simple. It would be like marrying a person, who later told you they were a transvestite. Hey, you could still have sex with them, there's no violation of your right to sexuality, but in this case as well, you were DEFRAUDED, thus you should get your due (so to speak)..

>>Sex is an extremely important part of marriage<<

Hmmm. . .thought it was an important part of getting a man to want to marry and after the ceremony, wham. . .things change. (No shortage of sexless-marriage jokes out there!)

Heh Heh, I'll tell you what....

[Publius6961]

Isn't there a fundamental affirmation here about the reality that, from time immemorial, "marriage" must be between a man and a woman?

[Redgirl]

Men do it to women too, though not as often.

Going from 4-5x a week down to 1x a week.....

[anniegetyourgun]

I guess she didn't really mean it when she said she loved him.

[MeanWestTexan]

You are correct.

This is very OLD common law, even in England/America and actually recognized as a right for an annulment.

Usually, though, it was code for, "He's like Barney Frank or maybe Michael Jackson."

[Finger Monkey]

What in blazes did he think a marriange involved? hugs?

Yes, hugs. But a special kind, called "jumpy hugs."

[longtermmemmory]

actually there is nothing new here (exactly for the reasons you state), it is all in the reporting.

Fraud, mistake, or misrepresentation has always been grounds for an anulment. Even before the USA came to be.

[Melas]

I suppose that argument could be made, but it would be tantamount to the shameless hijacking of the thread.

[Mamzelle]

Italy has the lowest birthrate in Europe.

[Jimmyclyde]

To many Mama's boys.

[xJones]

Yeah, he defrauded her, but now his name and shame have been through numerous Italian courts all the way their Supreme Court. I'd say she's had her revenge already.:)
