France moves to abolish concept of marital duty to have sex
France has taken a significant step towards abolishing the concept of marital duty to have sex, with the National Assembly voting in favor of a proposal that seeks to remove the requirement for spouses to engage in sexual relations.
The proposed legislation, put forward by Member of Parliament Laetitia Avia, aims to overhaul France’s civil code, which currently states that married couples must agree to a “shared communal life,” including a sexual relationship. Avia argues that this provision is outdated and does not respect individuals’ autonomy over their own bodies.
Supporters of the bill welcome it as a move towards modernizing France’s legal framework surrounding marriage and relationships. They assert that couples should have the freedom to decide the terms of their relationship without undue interference from the state.
However, critics warn that removing the concept of marital duty to have sex could have unintended consequences, such as making it more challenging to prove rape within marriage. They argue that the law, as it stands, provides a level of protection to individuals in spousal relationships.
The proposal has sparked debates across the country, with various advocacy groups and legal experts weighing in on the potential implications of such a change to the civil code.
The bill will now proceed to the Senate for further debate and deliberation before it can be enacted into law.
