Court Bans Husband From Having Sex With His Wife

 

The unnamed man, from Bangladesh, claimed that his culture and religion allow him to have sex with his wife any time he wants. After it was discovered that the woman did not know she had a choice and could refuse as she “has the mental age of a child”, a judge ruled that the two should be separated.

It emerged that the couple had a “volatile” relationship and there were instances of domestic violence when the husband lost his temper. The woman was even unable to link sex to pregnancy and did not know how the babies appeared in her body.

She and her four children were ordered to be detained in accommodation where they will receive 24-hour care. But her husband  has since demanded that she return to their home. However, a judge said that it is not her duty to “submit” to him.
