France to Abolish “Marital Duty”: Ending Legal Penalties for Lack of Sex in Divorce

Family, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Jan. 29, 2026 /Mpelembe Media/ — France is moving to eliminate long-standing legal requirements that mandated sexual intimacy as a formal obligation within marriage. According to this report, the French government will no longer recognize the denial of physical relations as a legitimate justification for a fault-based divorce. This significant legislative shift effectively scraps the “marital duty” concept that previously penalized spouses for withholding consent. By removing these antiquated provisions, the state aims to modernize domestic laws and prioritize personal autonomy over traditional marital expectations. This policy update represents a major change in how the justice system evaluates marital misconduct and separation proceedings. Continue reading →

I am a romantic fool

Human Interest, , , , , , , , , ,

June 14, 2023 /Human Interest/ — The joke is that you are a romantic fool who is always getting yourself into trouble.

The word “fool” can have two meanings:

  • A person who is easily tricked or deceived.
  • A person who is innocent or naive.

In the context of the joke, you are the latter type of fool. You are a romantic fool who is always getting yourself into trouble because you are too trusting and naive.

You are always falling in love with the wrong people, and you are always getting your heart broken. But you never learn your lesson. You keep on being a romantic fool, even though you know that it will only lead to pain. Continue reading →

Politics, , , , , , , , , ,

Silvio Berlusconi was accused of having intimate relations with girls at his bunga bunga parties, but he was never convicted of any charges. In 2013, he was acquitted of charges of paying for sex with a minor, but he was convicted of other charges, including abuse of power. He was sentenced to seven years in prison, but the sentence was later commuted to community service.

The bunga bunga parties were a series of parties that Berlusconi hosted at his villa in Arcore, Italy. The parties were attended by young women, some of whom were reportedly prostitutes. Berlusconi denied that any sexual activity took place at the parties, but he was accused of paying the women for their company. Continue reading →

Was KJV bible written by queers

June 1, 2023 /Lifestyle/ — There is no definitive answer to the question of whether King James I of England was homosexual. Some historians believe that he may have been, while others believe that there is no evidence to support this claim.

There are a few pieces of evidence that could be interpreted as suggesting that King James may have been homosexual. For example, he was known to be close friends with several men, and he once wrote a poem in which he described himself as being “in love” with another man. However, it is also possible that these relationships were simply platonic, and that King James’ poem was simply a literary device. Continue reading →

The irony of a peaceful country that hates LGBTQ

Human Interest, , , , ,

May 31, 2023 /Lifestyle/ – The irony of Zambia being a peaceful country with deep hatred for LGBTQ is that it is a contradiction. Peace is defined as the absence of war or violence, while hatred is defined as an intense or passionate dislike. It is difficult to understand how a country can be peaceful if its people are filled with hatred for a particular group of people. Continue reading →
