Can lack of sex be construde as a breach of contract in a marriage?

Answer 1

Wow what a great question.
You know, it should be! Lack of sex could be considered alienation of affection.

Answer 2

Well just how much is the sex lacking? Has it been months? If so, then that's crazy. How do you go that long whith out making glove to a person who you supposedly feel in love with? It just doesn't make sense to me. Now I don't know if it can be construed as a breach of contract but it definitely defines the marriage. Something needs to be discussed in this marriage to see what exactly is going on. Communication always come out on top!

Answer 3

No, lack of sex in a marriage is not ‘breach of contract’ (you have no contract stating how often you’ll have sex) nor is it grounds for divorce. But if you feel it’s worth ending your marriage over, then you can certainly file under ‘irreconcilable differences’.

Answer 4

Legally it is not but it is a good reason for obtaining divorce.
Morally the marriage is a convenent between woman and man and should be observed.
This is what bible say (Corinthians chapter 7)
2. But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband.
3. The husband should not deprive his wife of sexual intimacy, which is her right as a married woman, nor should the wife deprive her husband.
4. The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband also gives authority over his body to his wife.
5. So do not deprive each other of sexual relations.
You can see clearly that the sex even by conservative moral institution is considered part of the agreement, parties entered when they exchanged vows.

Answer 5

Since you are bond/restricted to only having sex with that one person, and since you're not suppose to be having sex out side of marriage... I'd say OF COURSE. You're being neglected just as much as if your partner was keeping you from food, water, shelter, clothing... Oh wait, you're allowed to eat and drink with those that you aren't married to.

This is so obvious, it's a wonder that there are fools that don't "get it". If you marry someone then you are obliged to be there s e x partner. Period, no excuses. No saying, "I don't like s e x. I've lost my interest in s e x. I just don't feel s e x u a l towards you any more." etc. etc.

Answer 6

Yes, in most states in does constitute a breach of contract and is a valid reason for a divorce. However, you can't ever make someone participate in sexual acts against their will, married or not. Coercing someone with the threat of divorce for sexual favors is also illegal and in divorce court that party is more likely to win settlements. Before drastic action, I would seek marriage counseling.

Answer 7

I don't remember seeing anything on my marriage certificate or reciting anything in my marriage vows about how much or how little to have sex with my husband. Sounds like the sex drive has dewindled in your marriage, find something get it going again.

Answer 8

Did you sign a contract on how many times a week you were going to have sex?

Answer 9

hell yes! of course you can't expect to get some everyday for ever, but if its NEVER then that is definitely a breach of contract in my opinion. why would someone even marry someone that they didn't want to have sex with?

Answer 10

No but you should be asking your partner what's wrong. I don't understand marriage you would think married people would want to do it all the time especially since they are with the person they are comfortable with.
