it's just one or two obsessed guests who don't seem to grasp that he doesn't give a fuck, actually I think maybe they do, and that winds them up more

but yeah, a serious legal issue that affects women across the country and all we get here is 'but dean'




Can't it be argued that like Dean, the Husbands don't give a fuck about the wife's feelings when they want sex. If you think little of women that you would abuse them anonymously on a random forum. What makes you think they treat their spouse any different?

sensible stance or rape apology?

I think it's a dangerous precedent to use words that equate the use of another person's body with a human right, it's an interesting case for sure with lots of elements, the innability to give consent, and the rights of a man to take that as consent - echoes of the too drunk to give consent argument

“I cannot think of any more obviously fundamental human right than the right of a man to have sex with his wife – and the right of the state to monitor that,” he said. “I think he is entitled to have it properly argued.”


https://www.theguardian.com/law/2019/ap ... uman-right

I can see this causing ructions, and not without good reason


I think that the judge's comment has been completely misinterpreted. This is all over my facebook. I believe that what he was trying to say, was that it is a "man's fundamental human right to have sex with his wife without interference from the state" which is what may have to happen here. I honestly think that the judge was simply trying to illustrate the difficulty of making a decision which intervenes in a private and intimate element of most marriages, and was trying to show sympathy to the husband's plight in the context of his wife's deteriorating capacity.

I don't believe that he was intimating that a man has a right to have sex with his wife whether she consents to it or not.

That's just how I interpret what he was trying to say.

I get what you are saying Uly, but the man himself said he would give an undertaking not to have sex with his wife yet the state did interfere, is the judge saying that the state has a right to interfere or not?

“I cannot think of any more obviously fundamental human right than the right of a man to have sex with his wife – and the right of the state to monitor that,” he said. “I think he is entitled to have it properly argued.”


that above seems to imply he advocates states interference

but my major concern is that the state does need to step in to protect the vulnerable, and no matter how well intentioned, that a judge has uttered words that clearly indicate a man has a fundamental right to have sex with his wife - that phrase sets a precedent that almost eradicates the right of a woman to claim rape within marriage, and you can guarantee that some arse will use it

Where the judge mentions "and the right of the state to monitor that" directly after his "human right" comment, I think that he is trying to illustrate the difficulty in the state having to intervene and intrude in such a private and delicate matter.

The "human" right that he mentions (not "legal" or "absolute" right as some commentators seem to think he said) is, to my mind, simply an observation of one of the fundamental elements that make up most marriages, at a basic level. I don't believe that the judge is advocating that a man has rights over his wife sexually, regardless of her feelings.

This is a pretty difficult and sad situation all round really. I wouldn't like to be the person making the ruling.

By legal precedent I'm refering to citation used in a less savoury case in order to bolster the defence of rape within marriage

whichever way you look at it, his comment within a court of law is incredibly misjudged and could have far reaching consequences that were probably never his intention

Sorry, I wasn't referring to your comment re: legal right, rather a rebuttal in one article this morning which has made the claim that the judge said the man has a "legal right" and that isn't what he said.

His comment was perhaps clumsy and too open to misinterpretation, and predictably has caused widespread indignation. But I honestly don't think that he was suggesting what everybody seems to believe that he was suggesting.

Looking at his previous judgements I am giving him the benefit of the doubt on this one. It does appear that his comments have been taken out of context by the media imo.

I'm more wondering how Social Services knew about this... but it isn't anyone's human right to force another to have sex - married or not, and thankfully precedent was set when husband's have been found guilty of non consensual sex with a spouse.

I don’t think that was what the judge was implying.

the story i read said social services was already involved because of the lady's severe learning difficulties & they wanted to stop the couple having sex because her condition had deteriorated so they couldn't be sure she was consenting.

they might have asked the wife or the husband, or they might have just assumed & decided for themselves.
