Licence to lie for Italian women
Italy's highest appeal court has ruled that married Italian women who commit adultery are entitled to lie about it to protect their honour.
The court gave its landmark ruling after hearing the case of a 48-year-old woman, convicted of giving false testimony to police by denying she had lent her mobile phone to her lover.The appeal court did not agree that she had broken the law.
It said bending the truth was justified to conceal extra-marital relationships.
