This is a highly controversial topic in Nigeria and I would like to have you people's opinion.

Lagos — Rape is defined as a crime of forcing a woman or girl to have sex, especially using violence and it is one of the oldest crimes in the world.

Traditionally, rape could only be committed outside marriage, and courts did not apply the rape statutes to acts of forced sex between spouses because it was generally believed that a woman consented to all future sexual activity with her husband through the contract of marriage.

For many cultures in Nigeria, the idea of marital rape is foreign, something imposed and that which contradicts the belief that such matters should be dealt with privately rather than by the government.


Daily Trust gathered that marital rape is not an offence in Nigeria hence it is not prosecutable. A husband cannot rape his wife. It is assumed that the wife gives implied general consent to sexual intercourse with her husband upon entering the marriage contract, which she cannot retract.

It is therefore not surprising that in Nigeria today, there is no known case of a husband who is charged to court for marital or spousal rape.

However, some lawyers believe that the husband should obtain consent from the wife before every intercourse, while others believe that there is an implied consent on the side of the wife resulting from marriage which gives the husband a ready-made or automatic consent.

This is the confusion and it is hoped that the courts will have an opportunity in future to look at decisions on the issue.

My Guy ur head they work

Shows African brain is still working in some aspects where the Yuropean and Muricans brains failed.
Marital rape ko, Marital orgasm ni.

Breathtaking nonsense.

Naah it isn’t yet. Best you can get from marital rape is assault. However, it should be a crime. Our rape laws here are very lax. Unlike other parts of the world where unconsensual MouthAction is deemed as rape.

Lol, or when the wife is corrupt, lies and inflates prices to get money from the husband

I believe such issues should be settled within the household. I mean the husband has right to the wife's body and vice versa. Marriage isn't a do or die affair, if the wife feels she's being abused, it is better she lives than pursue such a case.

i believe it should be a crime, i as a man wouldn't like it if my wife gets back home one day while i am asleep, ties me up and fvcks me in the anus

Absolutely mental!

1. Man: Can I Touch you?
....waiting for answer
2. Man: Can I kiss your lips
3. Man: Can I take off your dress, undies ?
...
Where does it end?
So after an Igbo man pays million, only for the wife deny him midway at number (2)? This is HNO₃ level madness!

All in all, the idea of "Marital rape" is an astute piece of stupidity. And anyone supporting it is either an unrepentant ignoramus or a violent oppressor.

Wow, never thought of this before

How would you classify someone a violent oppressor for supporting marital rape. Isn’t it meant to be the other way around.

Also I get what you mean. But the idea when it becomes rape is when she says no. You can kiss her UnCloth her etc. she is your wife. But don’t forget before she became your wife, she was a woman and a human being, and should be treated with dignity. That’s all I’m saying.

Someone went to ur village
fed the entire village for over one week
fed ur entire extended family for one month
fed ur entire immediate family for one year
all in d name of marriage list

u still have d nerves to tell him am not in the mood
still go ahead to cry marital rape

wat an arrant rubbish

any man who physically assaults his wife should be prosecuted, but wat d hell is marital rape?


that's why I always say this "Marry someone whom u are entirely ok with every single area of his/her lifestyle, to avoid "Admin hide my identity"

There is nothing like marital or marriage rape
Why will a partner deny his or her partner sex in marriage.
Don't they know marriage is all about unlimited sex
If it is not for sex, why should men and women marry? For Love?
Make I hear.
If you know you don't love sex, better Don marry, keep managing your enduring boyfriend.

Personally, if we go by the technical definition. It seems 80% of Men are readily guilty of marital rape.

Anytime you spank your wife butt without asking - rape.

If you kiss your wife while sleeping - rape.

The implication of legal interpretation is mind boggling

Oga go left, the idea was from women who want more power since it's designed to prosecute men. Surprise surprise!
Having licensed sexual relation is a major reason to marry.

U don goofed mate, u missed what I meant by violent oppressor haha.

The only time there's any argument is when the man/woman is not capable at the moment (i.e weak, sick) then got forced, that's quite evil.
But the idea when it becomes rape is when she says no.
SIMPification!
That's how u get destroyed! She's giving u limitations then goes around riding a Tyrone vigorously haha. Terrific!
Again: Marriage is useless without the implied consent to hump.

Stop listening to morons on TV and in papers.

It's highly controversial among the 1% of the 1% online. In the real-word it's a t least 90% "there's nothing like that" or "It's just a buzzword".

yeah the bolded is part of my point. and that isnt the only instance marital rape comes to play, dont forget that separation is different from divorce.

couples who are legally seperated are still legally married. that doesnt give you the right to come demading knacks. marital rape isnt really black and white, there are a lot of grey areas.

notwithstanding, i understand your point, marital rape in the hands of women would most definitely be abused.

Arrrhhh

lol..the op post defined rape as forcing a woman or girl..

That definition is sexism itself! Rape is forcing someone into sex

Anyway marriage doesn't stop a crime from being a crime,rape itself is a crime... Because it happens in marriage doesn't make it less than a crime.

Well according to Nigerian constitution his definition is correct

Where Is marital rape a crime in Africa?

Isn't it already a crime?

Still applies mostly in Western world, we are talking Nigeria mate.
Separated and still married is still alien in Nigeria (maybe court marriage ?).
This point is problematic, there's a reason u are separated in the first place.

notwithstanding, i understand your point, marital rape in the hands of women would most definitely be abused.

Na only #MeToo dem get see wahala, give "nonsense rape" and see total destruction.
Look at Obama O'Scammer and Joe Biden Bribery Title IX destroying lives of young students in college.

Women loves things that cannot be proven by logic, just emotions a la crying. It's a gold mine for them and boy mine did they.

It should not be a crime. Because

1) ladies will misuse it and lie on their husbands heads.

2) there is no such thing as marital rape

3) if you guys want something like this legal, it should also be legal for the man to cheat

4) and it should also be a crime to force a man to give you money that is finicial rape
