Marry-your-rapist Law by braveboy64(m): 3:29pm On Nov 22, 2018 |
A marry-your-rapist law , marry-the-rapist law or
rape-marriage law is a law regarding rape that
exonerates a man or boy from prosecution for rape ,
sexual assault , statutory rape , abduction or similar
acts if the offender marries his female victim . The
“marry-your-rapist” law is a legal way for such a
rapist to avoid punishment and prosecution. [1]
Although the terms for this phenomenon were only
coined in the 2010s,the practice has
existed in a number of legal systems in history, and
continues to exist in some societies today in
various forms.Such laws were common around
the world until the 1970s. Since the late 20th
century, the remaining laws of this type have been
increasingly challenged and repealed in a number of
countries. |
