It must be stated, and credit to South Africa, that this law which came into effect on December 16, 2007 after being signed into law by the then president, Thabo Mbeki, is one of the world’s most modern in its comprehensive description of what sexual offences are. It is also vital to note that the purport of the law simply means that a woman, a man (or a child) can be raped by another woman or man.5 This cures the gender bias and other limitations of the definition of rape in several jurisdictions.

Any way I will finish the rest but yeah Nigeria law doesn't recognise it as rape and strangely a woman can't rape a man in Nigeria mehn |

mysticgal: Lol, leave these people, they will never admit they are wrong even if you prove it to them. Coming from another angle. (my angle). 1. On the natural average men have a higher libido than women. So men woukd most times want sex more often than their wives. In countries where marital rape has been legalised does this not translate to marital sex being only for the benefit of the female? Since most times it is the male that does the asking, is it not an unfair constraint on the malefolk? 2. You seem to be speaking on the context of religion, may i remind you that even under law a married couple have become one and hence rape cannot occur in this case either? 3. If a man forcefully has his way with his wife and women are screaming rape, is it not also justice that any woman who takes money from her husband's wallet without his permission or uses his credit card without his consent or willingness or strongarming or lying to the husband to obtain financial favours from him is in fact guilty of theft/robbery abd should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law? 3 Likes |

@OP: Yes However, in light of mysticgal's submissions, a husband cannot be prosecuted for raping his wife neither can a wife be prosecuted for raping her husband. Although, if any party sustained physical injury during the act, the perpetrator can be charged with assault/battery. 1 Like |

Yes, she can 'accuse' the husband of rape_ that's me looking at the elementary definition of accuse. I doubt he can be indicted for it. There are somethings marriage just takes care of. As long as both are still very much married and no injury was sustained, I doubt the woman would have much of a case. 2 Likes |

Thanks Mysticgal for the well researched input and 5minsmadness for your points. I don't believe rape should be alleged, let alone chargeable/prosecuted between spouses. Marriage pre-dates the law, and as such the law should at best seek to support and buttress the institution, not meddle - and in a lopsided fashion - especially with regard to Christian marriages from my pov. Neither a husband or wife should be charged with forced or coercive intercourse. Not unless there is real (and in some cases non-consensual) physical harm should the state even be involved. Then charges of battery may be considered and Christianity would agree with that. From a Christian pov, spouses own each others bodies and should not deny the others calling. If forced or coerced intercourse is rape, then withholding intimacy - unless by consent or due to some valid reason - should also be chargeable. It is not currently on any statutes as far as I am aware. I couldn't bear to look at my wife - always jumping my bones when I want to snooze, watch the boxing come to NL etc. - and think of her as a rapist TV 1 Like |
