7 Important Things You Didn't Know About Rape! by Anuoluwapo23(f): 3:16pm On Feb 03, 2017
Sexual violence is not just a woman's problem, it is something that affects us all.

Every day, people of all ages are raped and it does not only affect the victim, it also affects the family and friends. It often leaves its victims marred for life, both physically and emotionally.

Rape happens everywhere. In some cultures, the women are blamed for being raped and they are punished.

We have been done a massive disservice by keeping the reality of rape in the shadows and this has spurred the rapists to keep on carrying their wicked act.

It turns out a whole lot of people know less than nothing about rape. When it comes to what people think and understand about rape, some have a lot of misconceptions.

Below are some things you should know.

1. Most of the victims are assaulted by someone they know and trust: Most people are sexually assaulted by relatives, trusted friends or even spouse.

2. Rape is one of the most under-reported crimes: Most women who are raped tell no one about the assault for fear of being criticized and labeled. Victims who have survived rape ordeals have been reluctant to speak about it for reasons such as the stigma attached to having been raped.

3. Rape is an act of power and control and does not happen out of sexual desire: A lot of people out there have sexual desires but they don’t go around raping people. So you can’t blame it sexual desire. If you have the urge, there are people out there who are willing, why force someone unwilling.


4. Mere penetration is sufficient to constitute the offence of rape: Once you fail to prove penetration, the offence either becomes attempt to commit rape or indecent assault.

5. It’s not your fault: No one asks to be abused unless maybe you have problem. Therefore, the line of thought which blames the victim for what happened instead of holding the rapist accountable for his crime is wrong. Rape victims often times, blame themselves, believing it was because of something they did or did not do. What happened to you was a crime and you are not to blame for the assailant’s behavior.

6. Having carnal knowledge or sexual intercourse with a girl of less than 14-years even with her consent is rape because consent is immaterial here.

In the Northern part of Nigeria the definition of rape as contained under Section 282(1) of the Penal Code provides that: “A man is said to commit rape who … has sexual intercourse with a woman in any of the following circumstances:- (a) against her will; (b) without her consent; (c) with her consent, when her consent has been obtained by putting her in fear of death or of hurt; (d) with her consent, when the man knows that he is not her husband and that her consent is given because she believes that he is the man to whom she is or believes herself to be lawfully married; (e) with or without her consent when she is under fourteen years of age.

7. If you force your spouse, it is rape: Many countries including Nigeria consider sex in marriage an absolute right of the husband which can be taken with or without the consent of the wife. The very act of a woman refusing sex is unthinkable. Whether we agree or not, this is the truth.

Here is what the law says: Section 282, Cap 89 Penal Code Laws of the Federation says: “A man is said to commit rape who has sexual intercourse with a woman in any of the following circumstance: against her will; without her consent; with her consent, when the consent is obtained by putting her in fear of death or of hurt..."

In the South of Nigeria, the meaning of rape as enshrined in section 357 Cap C38 of Criminal Code states: “Any person who has unlawful carnal knowledge of a woman or girl, without her consent, or with her consent if the consent is obtained by force or by means of threat or intimidation of any kind, or by fear of harm, or by means of false or fraudulent representation as to the nature of the act or, in the case of married woman, by personating her husband, is guilty of an offence which is called rape.”

Rape, just like every other social vice can't be stopped. Women will continue getting raped, today, tomorrow, and forever. Rapists will keep on existing. Typing error-ridden essays will not stop it. You either deal with it or you keep on wasting your time typing nonsense.

Nice one op. I hardly read things about rape and sexual assault....it takes the grace of God to be raped and still overcome the trauma that comes with it. I really admire such people.

But I disagree with your number seven. When your wife says no and you force her, its more like sexual harassment than rape.

I am not justifying rape. Everyone knows rape is bad, even the people that commit rape. But my point that is that you all should stop wasting ink writing nonsense essays about something that can't be stopped. Whatever you write or discuss online about rape can never deter a rapist from raping.

cut the crap! nothing is unjustifiable, that is why we have "hearing" before prosecution. there is always a reason for doing anything. there is freedom to be heard!

everything looks stupid in the eyes of the stupid. we have an imperfect system governing imperfect beings.

"irresponsible act" but you couldn't detect from the guy's assertion of justifying 'irresponsible dressing'.

Plagiarism is an offence that has very serious legal repercussions. It's funny how you would post a seemingly well informed composition about commiting an offence while you're simultaneously doing the exact same thing.

It's very obvious you didn't write or read the post, all you had to say to Looke was that you understand that rape occurs (as written in the post) and you were just giving insightful information.

For future purposes, make sure you cite the original author and not take credit for another's persons work. Stealing is also an irresponsible act.

For sexual harassment- no actual sex occurs, however, one party makes an unwanted sexual advance towards another. This includes verbal language, lewd suggestions, or physical contact to any part of the body.

So I'll say it is possible a man sexually harass his wife

For rape- actual sex has to occur, this includes the penetration or violation of all bodily openings, including the anus, vagina and mouth. The sex must be unwelcome by one party OR performed upon someone not capable of giving consent

A man can forcefully perpetrate his wife. Such action is RAPE.

That's his wife he's entitled to it. You can't call a stranger with a stranger "rape" and call husband and wife "rape" too.

Dee, the bond between husband and wife ends the moment both of them are in discord with each other.

Sex has to be a mutual and consensual thing. So, if one party isn't in the mood, any Form of coercion or force will be counted as rape.

I get your point, Dee. They are both engaged, hence the man has every right to penetrate his wife anytime he deemed fit. Well, that's very wrong.

There are times wife or even man may not be in the mood for sex. There are times the woman might be in some sort of quarrel with the husband. So engaging her forcefully during those period is punishable by law. That's if the wife care to charge him to court.

Most ladies are dying in silence because of the fear of a possible end to their marriage

I am surprised you even had the courage to reply someone so intellectually superior to you. I thought you'd be mourning your gross level of ignorance, instead of writing a retort to further substantiate your intellectual mediocrity.
