Italian affairs

[Cobbydaler]

Italian women can now legally lie in court if they're having an affair.

In a predominantly Catholic country you might expect the courts to take a dim view of lying and adultery.
But not in this case.
The woman who brought the appeal was from Porto Ercole on the Tuscany coast, and named only as Carla.
She had lent her telephone to her secret lover, Giovanni, who then used it to call Carla's estranged husband, Vincenzo, and insult him.
Giovanni, the lover, was convicted of abusive behaviour in a local court, and Carla convicted as an accessory.

But the Court of Cassation found that having a lover was a circumstance that damaged the honour of the person among family and friends.
Lying about it, therefore, was permitted, even in a judicial investigation.
It is not yet clear whether the ruling might also apply to men who have secret mistresses.

Had to do a double take on the name of that court..

You just have to love the Italians..only they would see a way to benefit all those rampant males with a mistress on the side.Way to go to cover up their own infidelities by allowing the mistress to lie even under oath.

This court must have some ballsy judges going by this:

It once gave a ruling, later rescinded after protests from women's groups, that a woman could not be raped by definition if she was wearing tight jeans, since the jeans could only be removed with her consent.

Do not blame the males. I have an example of an Italian female that waited like predator, for a male to get weak (=drunk) and then she went on the offensive (=to get him to bed). Women (Italian or not) have fantasies and they aggressively pursue them.
