A judge in Stuttgart, Germany is set to rule on a lawsuit in which a man hired his neighbour to impregnate his wife. Demetrius Soupolos and his wife, Traute, wanted a child but he was sterile. The couple eventually decided to hire their neighbour Frank Maus to impregnate Traute. Maus, who was already married with two children agreed to do the job for the fee of €2,000. After six months she still wasn't pregnant and Soupolos insisted that Maus take a medical examination. The doctor concluded that Maus was also sterile, which forced his wife into admitting that their two children did not belong to him.
