Husbands Can Be Jailed For Insulting Wives In France

Couples who insult each other over their physical appearance or make false accusations about infidelity face jail, under a new French law making "psychological violence" a criminal offence. The law -- the first of its kind -- means that partners who make such insults or threats of physical violence faces up to three years in prison and a €75,000 (£60,000) fine.
