if a woman that got pregnant by her husband can charge him and win in court because she warned him not to can do so, likewise a rape victim though wife can also win. all things yield complication in marriages though. 1 Like |

Regardless of the relationship between the victim and the perpetrator, a crime is a crime if it meets the definition in the criminal code If the sexual activity meets the definition of rape then it is rape, same way murder is murder even if the victim is the spouse 5 Likes 1 Share |

^^^^MMotimo You are wrong there. A wife cannot accuse her husband of rape and stealing especially if they are married under the Christian marriage, which means they were married in court or the church, mind you, this does not apply to couple married only traditionally. And the law of rape would only apply when they are separated or divorced 2 Likes |

mysticgal: What rubbish! Rape is the unlawful sexual activity and usually sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against the will of someone. It has NOTHING to do with Religion or marital status! What a load of crap! Get your head out of your a**!  9 Likes 2 Shares |

LadyMercedes: Sweetie, what mystical couldn't articulate well is that in christianity, once a man and woman have been joined in holy matrimony, their bodies belong to each other. Thus, each is to make his or her body available to the other whenever desired except when the two agree to pray and fast for a period of time. Wetin that one mean be say babe can't claim rape as the bobo obviously did not agree to fast or pray with her. May God help us. Back to reality, this recommendation of the bible can only be absolutely effective when the two parties are considerate people. That's if wife isn't unnecessarily withholding and if husband is not unnecessarily an azzzhole! Hallelujah!  ;DHope you are good?

Ofcourse, anybody can accuse anybody of rape. so yes, a wife can accuse her husband of rape. whether a wife can proove her husband raped her is another matter entirely. personally, I don't think she can. |

EfemenaXY:Smiles.. OK lemme start this way In law, you do not read meanings into codes except by interpretation sections . Chapter 1 of the interpretation section, of the criminal code defines Christian marriage, as a marriage which is recognized by the law of the place where it is contracted as the voluntary Union for life of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others Section 6 (b) of the criminal code defines unlawful carnal knowledge to mean carnal connection which takes place otherwise than between husband and wife. And if you go to section 357,you would see that rape is having unlawful carnal knowledge of a girl or woman. So back to what I am saying section 6 of the criminal code, 55 (1) of the penal code excepts marital rape, meaning a husband cannot rape his wife because there was an initial consent before the marriage to have sex when married. Don't get me wrong, morally, it wrong for a man to rape his wife but legally it is doesn't have any parlance especially in Nigeria. In the US, it is criminalized.. See, Regina v state. The only way a husband can be brought to book is if he assaults or wounds if proven beyond reasonable doubt. I rest my case 3 Likes |

LadyMercedes: Lady, there is a probability you are not in Nigeria but if you are and claim to be a lawyer, then you don't know your onions and you are outdated in the practice of law, so I suggest, you go back to case laws and the criminal code which for now reigns supreme... And I advice, before giving or dishing out such crap you think you know, research and then serve because you never know who reads it And I never said what I said because it was what I think, rather it is what I know... I have joined a senior counsel to court on a case bordering on marital rape and you know what marital rape is not criminalized in Nigeria... So beware of what the heck you say. Lemme refer you to section 1 of the interpretation section of the criminal code, section 6 of the criminal code and 357 of the criminal code and beautifully calm down and read this https://www.google.com.ng/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://iiste.org/Journals/index.php/JAAS/article/viewFile/25622/26274&ved=0ahUKEwiQo9iasYTQAhWEAsAKHRHwAb8QFggaMAA&usg=AFQjCNHw9mdSX9eiol8_cS9Clrvh-pQQnQ&sig2=DZfY9fa4WcVjfVlH2uG7Zw Have an inspired day ahead CC..

I now understand what mysticalgal means I am still reading the document but I also came across this line too "The first point to be noted from the above provisions is that in Nigeria, a woman cannot commit the offence of rape upon a man." If a woman actually rapes me the law won't recognise it Then again I don't have rape value to women anyway so yay 1 Like 1 Share |

The second point to be noted from the definition of the offence in Nigeria is that a man cannot be guilty of rape upon his wife. |
| Re: Quick Question! Can A Wife Accuse Her Husband Of Rape? by Nobody: 8:04am On Oct 31, 2016 |
Mehn it keeps getting weirder Another point that should be noted is that under the Nigerian definition, rape is committed upon penetration of the female genital organ (vagina) by the male penis. Thus, it is not rape if the vagina is penetrated with any other object or any other part of the male body. Furthermore, it is not rape if any other part of the female body (e.g. the mouth or the anus) other than the vagina is penetrated |
