Men Who Avoid Sex With Wives Could Be Taken To Court

Men who avoid sex with their wives or display extreme jealousy could be tried in court and punished under a new law in Mexico.

Special prosecutor for crimes against women also said that men who phone their wives every half hour to check up on them, constantly suspect them of infidelity or try to control the way they dress are committing the crime of jealousy.

Those who stop talking to their wives, avoid sex or try to convince suspicious spouses they are "crazy" even if they are caught red-handed having an affair, are guilty of indifference, she said.

Men found guilty could face up to five years in prison and individual states would determine the punishments. The "progressive" new law was passed this month to protect women from domestic violence.

She cited in Mexico, about 75 percent of all murdered women are killed by their husbands. "If we do not stop this from the beginning, it turns into beatings, and the beatings turn into more beatings and rape, until it gets out of hand, and whoops, she died", she says.

She thinks the new law could help level the playing field with abusive men.

"Men ought not to feel discriminated against".
