| Re: Italian women allowed to lie to cover up adultery So...if you're having an affair, lying in court is ok to protect yourself from discovery? Wow....  Mind you, this is from the same court that apparently once gave a (since reversed) ruling 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.  |

| Direwolf of the chrons  | Re: Italian women allowed to lie to cover up adultery It is not yet clear whether the ruling might also apply to men who have secret mistresses Considering the staff The Court of Cassation, which is largely staffed by elderly male appeal judges I am would be surprised if men are not also allowed to lie as well! |
