Man wins divorce from wife 'too shy' to sleep with him

DPA, TAIPEI
Monday, Feb 12, 2007, Page 2
A Tainan court has granted a man's request for divorce because his wife was "too shy" to consummate their marriage, a newspaper said yesterday.

The man surnamed Chen (?), a 38-year-old teacher from Tainan County was introduced to a woman surnamed Lin (?), 29, also a teacher, by a matchmaker.

After the couple dated for three months, they married a year ago, but Lin refused to consummate the marriage, the Chinese-language daily China Times reported.

On the wedding night, Lin slept fully dressed and wrapped with a quilt, the daily said, without citing any sources.

When Chen tried to sleep with her, the report said, she pushed him away shouting: "You are ridiculous!"

The next morning Lin returned to her mother's home saying she was ill, and would not live with her husband again, the paper said.

Through the matchmaker's mediation, Lin signed a contract agreeing to consummate the marriage but only for the purpose of procreation, and demanded to sleep separately.

However, she did not live up to the pledge, the paper said.

In June, Chen filed for divorce with the Tainan District Court. Lin contested the divorce, claiming that she refused to consummate the marriage on the wedding night because she was too tired and was ill.

But the judge said it was strange for Lin to refuse to consummate the marriage for one year, so he granted the divorce on Saturday and ruled that Lin must compensate Chen NT$300,000 for buying an apartment, giving Lin's family a dowry and losing face because she did not consummate the marriage.

3 of my ex girlfriends are taiwanese, they're all freaks in the sheets, but really shy.

Once the deed is done, clothes on never speak of it again, quite weird really.

It's not without precedence. Henry VIII was able to divorce Catherine of Aragon because he said their marrige was not consummate and the church(Rome) allowed the divorce.

That's the most amazing thing I've ever heard.

It's not surprising really...there are plenty of desperate women out there and some of them, I'm sure, are stupid enough to sleep with RyanSengara.

Bennylong, make sure your mail order bride will do the deed before you bring her to the States.

Asian women are like this - well at least the ones that live over there. The ones born and brought up in the US are quite different ;)

Good advice. I can also make sure she's not really a man at the same time.

Technically it was an annulment, not a divorce. That's why "proving" the marriage wasn't consumated was so important.

Huh? From what year is that impression? They are just as open as anywhere else, it's all over the tabloids and news. Maybe she has a phobia of some sorts?

I thought the story was about him... but then realized his wife was a recent purchase.

The church (Rome) never allowed the divorce. That's why he made the Anglican Church.
