NEWSCORE - An Emirati man was being sued for 45 million dirhams ($12.25 million) for not having sex with his wife, who claimed that his failure to perform caused her mental anguish, a court heard.
The unidentified woman said her husband did not sleep with her during the first four months of their marriage in 2008 and that she later discovered he suffered from erectile dysfunction, Gulf News reported Wednesday.
Court records filed by the woman allege that her husband, who she is now divorced from, failed to fulfil her needs.
"Considering the conservative Arab values and the woman's situation in such a society, I remained silent and tried to adapt [by] praying to God that things would improve," she said.
But the woman is now seeking 45 million dirhams in compensation and claims that the defendant -- who has reportedly been married more than 12 times -- also forced her out of her employment and stripped her of her jewelery.
The case is pending before Dubai courts.
Denying “conjugal rights” is one thing.
But never, I repeat, NEVER, come between a woman and her jewelry.
We need a picture of her to determine innocence or guilt in this case....
Where’s the goat in all this??
Is there a “Lorena Bobbit Clause” somewhere in Shari’a Law?
I'm sure the two things aren't related.
“Erectile dysfunction my butt. He’s a scammer, lady!”
I recall a jazz pianist from the early part of the century who was married twice, the second time for over 30 years, and it wasn’t discovered until death that he was a she. Claimed some sort of ghastly injury earlier in life to the pertinent “parts”, and wife, I guess, just accepted the explanation.
I wonder...
I'm leaning towards NOT GUILTY.
No verdict, throw the case out. If she needed pipe, the 5th fleet pulls into UAE all the time.

Yes! And being a sax player, you’d know that!
