Sexless Year as Grounds for Divorce?

A Maryland lawmaker is backing legislation that would allow couples who have lived together but have not had sex for a year to skirt the state's one-year waiting period for no-fault divorce.  Yes, you read that correctly.  I thought it was a joke too until I read the bill.

Simmons said it would ease the initial financial burden for couples -- especially those with children -- because they could remain in the same house during the year-long waiting period.
