A German court has set a precedent that legally requires citizens to delete any naked photos of their partners after they break up. The country’s high court made this ruling after a woman took the case to court over naked pictures that her ex had in his possession that were taken during sex.

The ruling said that the man did not have the right to keep the photographs even though she had consented to the pictures, and had taken a few of them herself.

The man, a photographer, was ordered to delete the photos. Deutsche Welle reports that the “consent of the plaintiff to create the photos in question does not rule out withdrawing that consent in the future.” The landmark decision sets a precedent as it establishes the principle that consent can later be withdrawn.

The man is forced to delete all photos snapped during love-making, however contrary to the demand of the plaintiff he is still allowed to keep photographs of her in which she is fully clothed.
