A 51-year-old Frenchman is going to pay up for not putting out.
His now ex-wife has successfully sued him over a "lack of sex over 21 years of marriage," according to the U.K. Daily Telegraph. The man has been ordered to pay the equivalent of nearly $10,000 in damages.
A judge in Aix-en-Provence supported the wife's citing of article 215 of France's Civil Code, which states married couples must live a "shared communal life." The code states that "sexual relations must form part of marriage."
The woman, 47, had been granted a divorce two years ago, but sought damages in a separate legal action.
Her ex-husband blamed their lack of sex on "tiredness and health problems."
