Impotent Sicilian told to pay ex-wife

Just discovered a real Friday 13th article...

  • I wonder what "cassation" means?
  • Also wonder if we get a "right to sex" in the UK? If not, we should start a campaign.
  • Any guesses as to the 'malformation'? (see article)

Impotent man told to pay ex-wife

A Sicilian man has been ordered to pay damages to his ex-wife for not telling her before they were married that he was impotent. Striking a cruel blow to the island's fiercely macho culture, Italy's top appeals court, the court of cassation, ruled that a man could not conceal his sexual shortcomings from the woman he was going to marry without paying the consequence.
