France: Catholics Lose Court Case Against 'Extramarital' Dating Website Gleeden

 
By Sarah Joanne Taylor

A Paris court has ruled against a Catholic group hoping to call to task the Gleeden extra-marital dating site.

The National Confederation of Catholic Family Associations (CNAFC) brought the case against BlackDivine, the start-up and capital venture company supporting Gleeden, claiming that the business model was illegal and anti-social, and in direct violation of the civil code.

BlackDivine criticised what it said was the use of the French justice system to argue a moral point.

During the court case, the Catholic association called for an end to Gleeden’s advertising campaigns, claiming they preached infidelity. It also demanded the cancellation of contracts between the site and its customers.
Initially expected on January 26, the ruling was postponed at the last minute to today (February 9).
