djeezy: It is not molestation in the eyes of the law as marriage is consent in this circumstance however in morality it can be deemed to be molestation without the woman's consent. Legally in law, you cannot charge your husband for sleeping with you without your consent.

Yield:

All of that right there is bogus.

R`ape is R`ape, marriage or not. And legally, it is possible to charge your husband (or wife) for "sleeping with you without your consent". As long as the woman (or man) says NO and he/she is still be forced, it's r`ape and you can be prosecuted for it. Marriage does not give you the right nor consent to take advantage of someone.

djeezy: ma'am can you please give me a judicial authority for the above?

Peeped your profile ...you're in Naija ...oooh. I'm sure the laws over there are different, so maybe marital r`ape is not a crime (smh), as you've said. I was referring to the laws here. I can post info on the laws here, if you want, but since you're in Naija you might not care to know and they won't apply to you anyway.

Mynd_44: Who in the world says there is no law against it Nigeria? Why is it that people don't know the laws of their own country? Just cos your judicial system is bleed up does not mean there are no laws like that.

The same law goes for things like Bigamy where Nigerians like to lie to themselves that it does not exist when it does.

Someone said if they are separated and he goes to meet her where she is, it can be prosecuted so how is it different from them being index the same roof and estranged?

Just because the police is silly and don't know what's in the constitution does not mean we should be like them

12 inches!:
Whenever u sign ur birth certificate, you have agreed to have sex with your partner and bear children with them.
If you can no longer do any of this as often as the other party pleases then you should seek a divorce. Well if he forces himself on you the first time we can call it "rape" but continuous "raping" is not possible in marriage because u chose to stay.

lorretta u: Truth is even though you're both married,a man can still be charged for molestation against his wife.
Let's say for example. A husband and his wife have a bit of a misunderstanding. Knowing as we women attach emotions to se/x,understandably,the wife might not be up for love making at that moment and the husband grabs her,forces himself on her and probably adds one or two slaps if she struggles too much.
Would anyone in their right minds not call that molestation?
Molestation is real and happens even in marriages.I know a certain lady whose husband doesn't like mutual consent se/x except he inflicts pain by forcing himself on her,hearing her cry.feeling powerful and in control.treating her like a sex slave.forcing annal se/x which she abhors on her.that's the only way he can get off.what's that if not molestation?
So I think anyone who says the law doesn't apply in Nigeria is ignorant of our law.
Such a husband can be sued and be made to pay damages.and the woman can divorce him if she doesn't want to keep being treated like a piece of shyte

djeezy: unmarried is molestation, mere cohabiting is molestation, married, she can only sue for assault, not sexual assault.

djeezy: Adaeze don't be scared o. Lol, @Lorreta, I once raised this question in my jurisprudence and criminal law class and it raised an argument just like this. What I'm saying is that marriage comes with an implied consent to be ready at all times. It would be absurd to say that a husband rape-d his wife. If any sex with one's spouse would amount to rap"e, many women will always say "no" to the man thereby depriving him sexual satisfaction. But in my own opinion, a loving and caring husband will not have sex with his wife without her consent, it'll sure feel like rape' to him, that's ostensible by the way. So choose your spouse wisely.

lorretta u: of course everyone will choose their spouses as carefully as they think is best.
But then how does one explain the cases of molestation that happen everyday?
And u said a loving husband won't do that.I agree with you.how about if the husband is no longer loving towards the wife?
Are u saying there's no law to free that woman from the claws of a sexu/ally abusive husband?
U gotta be kidding me

djeezy: Sweethrt, the wife always have an option of DIVORCE. As long as she's in that marriage, it's CONSENT apropos to sex. Bad law right? Lol

lorretta u: yea divorce and compensation for the molestation

djeezy: Sweethrt, the wife always have an option of DIVORCE. As long as she's in that marriage, it's CONSENT apropos to sex. Bad law right? Lol

Omo_Alata: I am praying for the day they will pass this law in Nigeria. Too many husbands are rapiing their wife and claiming it is their marital right to do so. I feel for any women this predicament

djeezy: It is not molestation in the eyes of the law as marriage is consent in this circumstance however in morality it can be deemed to be molestation without the woman's consent. Legally in law, you cannot charge your husband for sleeping with you without your consent.

SniperInADiaper:
