Erectile Dysfunction Grounds for Divorce?
Divorce is rampant in today’s society. A study was done in California a number of years ago that determined that the average shopping cart lasted longer than the average marriage. Now a bill is trying to be passed before parliament in an African nation wanting to make Erectile Dysfunction a new reason for divorce, like people need a new reason. This can be wrong on a number of levels.
Do the people of this planet need a new reason, especially one that can be caused by the spouse in the first place? Erectile dysfunction happens for one of two main reasons, poor blood flow and stress. What about the privacy of a human being. Publishing this reason in public documents could be extremely damaging to a mans image. Society today looks at erectile dysfunction as a mockery. People laugh and snicker at ads advertising them but many men depend on them. Society itself can sometimes mock the problems it creates.

Depending on where you live in the world determines how you can get divorced. But to go into a persons medical files and publish these? Doctors, healthcare workers, and nurses cannot reveal this information, but the divorce courts can? What about rights that protect our individual privacy? Can we eventually pass a law that will allow these private and intimate details to be published, thus negatively affecting our futures? This is the same society that pushes us to work harder. And in today’s economy, providing for a family just increases the stresses already upon us. These are the very stresses that more often than not help cause erectile dysfunction.
On top of these issues, what about a married couple that is old, and cannot function sexually because of old age? Does the elderly wife now have grounds for divorce because the elderly husband cannot function simply due to nature? And to go even further, what if the misses has simply let her self go, fails to take care of her hygiene, has gained 200 hundred pounds, and simply does not excite her husband anymore? Is this his fault?
And lastly, if this happens, the wife divorces the man due to erectile dysfunction, isn’t this defamation? When and where does it stop? Hey, we grew apart and we are not compatible anymore, do we need more of an excuse than that? Is there really even a basis for erectile dysfunction when there are solutions on the market to overcome this?
