Sex-deprived wife wins divorce deal |
2005-03-26 |
An Italian woman whose angry husband refused for seven years to have sex with her was awarded divorce damages by Italy's high court this week. Francesco launched his "sex strike" in the early 1990s to punish his wife, Piera, for taking sides against him in a family dispute over money. They bitterly separated in 2000 and Francesco, still convinced that she was responsible for the broken marriage, refused to make support payments demanded by Italian courts and repeatedly appealed against them. But the highest court ruled that Francesco's sexual punishment did not fit the crime, and doomed Piera to perpetual frustration. Beyond support payments, Francesco must pay court costs of several thousand euros. |

#2 He doesn't seem like much of a stallion to me, Andrea. No reading on the ol' sympathy meter for Francesco over here. I just wondered what the hell she saw in that putz in the first place. |

#1 I guess the big RAGU had to pay one way or the other! Will there be an appeal? May the Italian stallion have better luck next time! Happy Easter~~ Happy Cannoli Andrea Jackson |
