This marriage ended in litigation
A recent report showing that forty-four times as many men as women pay for sex has prompted varying responses from sexual organisations around the country.
A spokesman for the Society for the Protection of Men with Fat Wives (SPOMFAW) argued that in certain cases "it was only fair that women should pay for sex with their husbands."
He pointed out that 32% of men were clinically obese, while the corresponding figure for women was 41%.
"That leaves a lot of men who are in physically good shape themselves, but have to put up with grotesquely bloated wives - perhaps even as many as a million. These men should receive some financial compensation for what they go through."
SPOMFAW offer free legal support to men who wish to sue their fat wives.
"The emotional distress caused by the slow fattening of one's wife over a period of time can be very acute," says Dr Thomas Pennybacker, a renowned psychiatrist who acts as a consultant for SPOMFAW.
SPOMFAW's comments provoked an angry reaction from All Men are Bastards.
"If men have the right to sue women for getting fat, then women should be able to sue men for baldness, which is just as repulsive in its own way," fulminated AMB President Susan Grimshaw.
But Dr Pennybacker begged to differ. "That's just complete bullshit," he said, "Fat women are fat as a result of their own laziness and greed, whereas bald men have lost their hair through no fault of their own."
