Their Marriage Was Annulled After 8 Years for this BIZARRE REASON

In this day and age, it is considered somewhat rare to find a woman who waits until marriage to surrender her virginity. However, one married couple has dissolved their 8 year-long marriage for the exact opposite reason and it’s a bit bizarre.

A marriage has been declared void because a woman said she was still a virgin eight years after her wedding.

She went to court asking for the union to be dissolved because her husband had no interest in sex, it was reported.

The couple were only intimate once a month for a couple of minutes – always on a Sunday at around 10pm and never involving intercourse, local media said.

Each time, the wife (who has not been named) allegedly found the experience traumatic and ended up crying throughout the night.

The court heard the couple wed in 2000 after a short relationship despite the fact they had never spent any time alone together, instead always being chaperoned by the wife’s parents.

After their honeymoon was over and they returned to Malta, the husband did not even want to go to their marital home but preferred staying with his mum and dad.

After seven and a half years the woman told the court she was ready to have children and even brought up IVF, but her husband made excuses for not having sex such as being busy with work.

She did everything for her husband including driving him to work and picking him up but he didn’t appreciate any of it, claiming it was ‘nothing special’ and ‘what a woman was supposed to do’, the Malta Independent reported.

When things reached breaking point the woman went to a marriage counsellor.

She claimed at that point she established her husband needed psychiatric help for his perfectionist fixations.

During the relationship she suffered emotionally because her husband refused to take any responsibility and even took his father along to separation meetings, she claimed.

According to the paper, a doctor gave evidence that the couple was fertile but ‘the sexual act was not being carried out as it should be.’

The court accepted the wife’s request and declared their marriage null.

Whatever the reason, this is certainly an odd case, but a private one. I am dismayed to see any legitimate marriage dissolve, but hopefully, both parties will go on to find the mate of their dreams and live happy, fulfilling lives.
