Recently, a nairalander posted on whether a man can be guilty of raping his wife. While the answer to that in law is an emphatic NO, here is another angle to the question of rape. Why can't a woman be charged for rape generally?

Nigeria's current criminal law on rape is sexist. It is conceived as a crime committed by a man against a woman. Many developed countries have expanded the scope to include other kinds of forced sexual activity by persons of either sex.

So, the question is, should Nigerian laws be amended to also make women liable for rape? Afterall, what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Moreso, research has shown that there have been incidents of men raped by women in Nigeria.

Should a woman be liable for rape? What do you think?
