"Her ability to make informed decisions is deteriorating, hence the case." Seems extremely straight forward. No consent is no consent. End of. | |||

"A judge seems to think so. He made the claim during a case about whether a woman with serious learning difficulties is capable of consenting to sex with her husband of 20 years. The husband has offered to refrain from sex, and social services have asked for a legal ruling. “I cannot think of any more obviously fundamental human right than the right of a man to have sex with his wife and the right of the state to monitor that,” said judge Hayden. “I think he is entitled to have it properly argued.” What do you think? Surely a partner in a marriage has no more right to sex than the right of their partner to say no. It sounds like a throwback to the misogynistic days when a man who forced a woman to have sex against her will could not be charged with r@pe if the woman was his wife." The Judge should be retired, this is appalling misogyny ![]() | |||

"Without all the facts it is hard to say and we should not judge" As far as I can make out from the article in The Independent, her mental health is deteriorating. So, here we have a guy watching his wife deteriorate to a point where she can't remember who he is, who she is, who their children are and all the other memories they made over 20 years of marriage and while he's going through this, all people want to talk about is the likelihood of him becoming a sexual predator. Wow. ![]() | |||

" Considering what the judge has been reported as saying I suspect that there is much more to this 'story' than we have been told by the media. " I've no doubt that is true. It sounds like a very sensitive, personal story. My reason for posting this was to draw attention to the view of the judge, rather than to spotlight the couple involved in the case whose identity thankfully is being protected. | |||

"You’d trust judges like this to enact our laws? ![]() Circuit and High Court Judges (or for that matter Lord Justices of Appeal) do not 'enact' any of our laws. They interpret law and follow precedent. Also no trail court sets precedent. Where there is no law or the law is unclear and there is no precedent then the Appeal Court with a minimum of 3 Lord Justices of Appeal sitting in judgement will make a provisional ruling based on equity, and nearly always they will refer the case (and their ruling) to the Supreme Court for a definitive ruling. | |||

"You’d trust judges like this to enact our laws? ![]() Ok, I was too subtle... I responded to ‘we don’t know all the facts, it was hard to judge’, from a Brexiter. My inference is that as we did not know all the facts (none on the Leavers side), it was clearly hard to judge if it would be a success - following this logic, one would have voted remain. Whilst I agree in this actual case we do not know all the facts, did we have any more on Referendum day? | |||

"Very shaky ground here... But my question would have to be what has changed between 20 years ago and now? If the woman was as mentally disabled 20 years ago as now surly the question should be why did an agency of the state do nothing to stop the marriage 20 years ago? And why does an agency of the state feel it should interfere now? Considering what the judge has been reported as saying I suspect that there is much more to this 'story' than we have been told by the media. " ![]() | |||
