What!? 10.000 Euros for not having sex

Married 21 years. A hell of an accomplishment. That must be a lot of hot nights with passionate lovemaking. Not for a certain French couple from Nice. Wife Monique has sued her 51-year-old husband Jean-Louis for not having sex with her. By French law married couples should live a common life and that includes regular sex according to a judge. So based on article 215 of the French civil code the judge ruled the husband has to pay 10.000 Euros (NZD$16.771) in damages. Poor Jean-Louis tried pleading his case saying he had health issues and was exhausted from work, but nothing helped. Maybe he should have said he was supporting the All Blacks the Telecom way.
