SHANGHAI (Reuters) - A Chinese court has rejected a woman's claims for compensation for her sex life, which was ruined when her husband was injured in an accident, the Shanghai Daily reported on Thursday.
Wei Suying, 31, whose husband has suffered from erectile dysfunction since a 2003 workplace accident, filed suit in a Shanghai court asking for 220,000 yuan ($27,650) in compensation from the shopping center where the accident occurred, it said.

But the court ruled that Chinese law does not define an individual's sex life as a protected right. Relatives can only ask for mental anguish compensation when a victim dies, the report said.

This is a pretty common claim in the Commonwealth. It is sometimes called "loss of consortium," but I think it tends to be lumped in with loss of enjoyment of life.
It's a serious matter. Can you imagine not being able to have sex again, or if your life partner could never perform again?
