What is Wife Rape?
Wife Rape is a form of sexual abuse and domestic violence, wherein sex is forced on the female spouse (the wife) by her own Husband. It may sound new to some people, due to the fact that "marriage" is involved, but make no mistakes; any sexual activity that is not mutually consented to by both parties, and forcefully carried out is "Marital Rape" (just that the most common type is wife rape, as cases of husband rape is extremely rare).

Why Do Men Rape Their Wives?
As insane as it sounds "Wife Rape", is rarely ever spontaneous, be guided though, no reason or motive can ever justify a husband raping his wife. Below are few reasons why certain men rape their wives;
1. Need to show Dominance: It is no news that most men, if not all are egoistic in nature. They like to depict their dominance (in different ways). For some men, their way is to inflict pain on others, in this care, their wives. They rape their wives to show dominance over them.
2. Deprivation: Some men believe that their wife has no right to deny them sex, whenever they demand for it. So whenever their wives refuse to give in to their demands, they feel they have the right to "take it by force."
3. Lack of communication: Lack of communication between spouses is another reason; as the husband could easily think his wife is refusing him sex intentionally and therefore opts to rape her to satisfy his urge. But when there is adequate and effective communication between the them, they will understand each other well and horrific experiences such as rape can be avoided.
4. Anger and Frustration: For some men, raping their wives is their own way of letting out their anger and frustration. It usually starts from battery, then to rape.
5. Power, control and Humiliation: Most men who rape their wives, do so because they see their wives as a property they own. Therefore, they easily conceive the idea that they can abuse, humiliate and control their wives as they please.
6. Family and Childhood factors: Just like heredity, traits can be passed in families, but this time not genetically but by merely experiencing it. If you grow up in a home where wife rape occurs often, it could make you like that too, depending on the interpretation given to it by the kid.

The Nigerian Society and Why We Do Not Believe In Wife Rape.
The Nigerian society still views marriage largely on the old principles of their forefathers. Most tribes, if not all still retain the idea that, the wife becomes the property of the husband after all marriage requirements have been carried out. So the concept of "Marital Rape" does not exist to them, because it is viewed as basic sexual intercourse by the husband to his wife, regardless of the means adopted or consent of the wife. To them, in marriage, "SEX is SEX" not rape nor Wife Rape.

Effects of Wife Rape.
1.It could cause psychological or physical damage to the victim (the wife).
2. Some husbands do feel remorseful after the act and some really do self-destruct, owing to the weight of the guilt.
3. Tension between the spouses.
4. Lack of intimacy.
5. Separation and divorce.
6. All the above mentioned effects will also affect their kids, if they have any.

wife rapes only exist in western world but in Africa it's a no, how can a man rape his wife who he had paid her bride price. Any African woman complaining that her husband raped her is crazy, if someone buys a thing he can choose to use it the way he pleases, maybe if paying of bride price is stopped she can then have a lawful society.

I condemn that act totally.

Even though you used the National budget to pay her bride price, that shouldn't give you the audacity to mess with her body. If she says she's not in the mood, go to the refrigerator, take a glass of cold water, or if it's unbearable, excuse yourself and go to the restroom with a cup of Original vaseline.

We don pass that stage to dey collect sex forcefully.

I don't agree with anything you just said and I don't think that paying the bride price of a woman represents that the woman is now the property of the husband. But for the sake of argument let's say that it's true. Would you as a man regard your wife as a mere property given that the fact that you married her indicates that you love and respect her? And if you love and respect your wife, why then would you require that she engages in sex with you whenever you want regardless of her mood or how she feels in the moment? Isn't that tantamount to abuse? Why would you abuse someone you love and respect?
