A French court of appeal has overruled the decision to annul the marriage of two Muslims because the bride had lied about being a virgin. They are now effectively married again - even though both partners said they accepted the original judgement. That verdict had caused emotional debate and outrage among some feminists, who said it amounted to a "fatwa" against women's liberty. But the husband's lawyers said the case had nothing to do with religion.

There was outrage that virginity could be seen as grounbds for annulment, although some narrow legalistic interpretations focused on the lying part were brought forward (and then rejected by many on the grounds that virginity should not be a fundamental issue and making it so was degrading to women).
So they don't get an annulment and now will divorce. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
They both wanted the marriage annulled. He was a dumbass for insisting on the virginity thing. She was a dumbass for wanting to get married to a guy who insisted on that. The outraged dumbasses who raised hell about this were dumbasses. And the court which finally cancelled the cancellation was full of dumbasses. A 'centrist' is someone who's neither on the left, nor on the left.
(Christian Syrians, and there are a lot of'em, have just as retarded ideas on things like women rights as muslim Syrians). Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
