    Strasbourg Court Condemns France for Violating Article 8 in Divorce Case Involving 69-Year-Old Woman's Refusal of Sexual Relations

    The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), based in Strasbourg, has ruled against France in a case involving a divorce granted on the grounds of a 69-year-old French woman's refusal to engage in sexual relations with her husband. The court found that France violated Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which pertains to the right to respect for private life, by holding the woman solely responsible for the divorce because she had not had sexual relations with her husband for several years. The ECHR emphasized that any non-consensual sexual act constitutes a form of sexual violence and rejected the French government's argument that consent to marriage implies consent to future sexual relations. The ruling is seen as a significant step in the fight for women's rights in France, with the plaintiff expressing hope that it will mark a turning point.
