law raises anger LL Dear Ann Lenders few days ago read somewhere that the reason Spanish law punishes an adulteress but lets the unfaithful husband off scot free is simply because man cannot get pregnant According to the article infidelity cannot be equal before the law for man who returns from dalliance because he cannot get pregnant The woman however must carry the blame and pay the price because God has given her the role of childbearer and it is her responsibility to protect her body against wrongful use The article says the feminists in Spain are campaignin for abolition of law which can put an unfaithful wife in jai for as long as six years The only way cheating husband can get punished is if he keeps mistress openly this bringing shame on his wife and family or if he insists on putting her up in his own home along with his wife and children What do you think about this sort of discrimination Ann Landers Appalled APlenty Dear Plenty think the feminists are going to win be cause the reign in Spain is going to be pain for husbands whose morals are on the wane Dear Ann Landers My eldest sisters daughter was married recently We were not invited to the wedding but we

you can between sips Dear Ann Landers Recently woman wrote about those poor disabled people in wheelchairs who are denied sex life believe your readers deserve to hear the facts from someone who knows
