Can a man sue his wife for rape too?
Re: Can A Woman Sue Her Husband For Rape? by PHIPEX(m): 10:24pm On Aug 14, 2020
Marital rape is not recognised by any of the world's religion and no culture in Nigeria recognises it. It's a recent creation of the feminist world. Marriage certificate implies certificate for sex, how then can you sue for rape?

Marital rape is as alien as same sex marriage.

In theory you can, but proving it will be hard.

Hello,

Even if you're a lawyer that delights in suing up and down, that aspect of your practice should start and end in your chamber or at most, in court. Never take that shit home! If you want to refuse your husband sex for any cogent reason, make a request in a humble way and assure him of double pleasure when available; he should be able to reason with you. And if he wouldn't, then request him to be very gentle on you. Na Africa be dis. no be Oyinbo Land o.

Your home (hoping you're married) shouldn't be a war zone or an arena to use your intellectual or financial prowess/capability to suppress or intimidate your husband, whom you are expected to submit to, since he is the head (leader) of your home.

Meanwhile, I hope you know that marriage is not for every lady? Not every lady can submit to the leadership of a man (husband) so it is better you opt for divorce (still shameful though) than to be recognized by suitors of your sisters/cousins as someone who sued her husband.

What I'm saying is that while you're done displaying your arrogance, you would have successfully blocked marital chances for your siblings/relatives who might have been groomed on how to manage a husband and the home effectively.

A married woman cannot sue her husband for rape according to the Nigeria criminal penal code because it is assumed that sexual consent is giving before the marriage took place

Re: Can A Woman Sue Her Husband For Rape? by LearnedNonSilk: 10:31pm On Aug 14, 2020
A woman can not sue her husband for rape in Nigeria. A man can not rape his wife as the marriage between them is an express consent for both parties.
Re: Can A Woman Sue Her Husband For Rape? by Commentor: 10:31pm On Aug 14, 2020
She can sue and would likely win if no consent was given especially if some form of forceful entry or bruises are observed.

A woman can't sue for rape because it's assumed the marriage has given the man the right to it

Worst case she denys you access

But she can sue for other things that weren't put in place

Sex even under marriage has to be consensual.

Although being married makes it hard to proof rape especially without the associated forced entry and violence.

Hmmmmmm. Look at what technology has turned marriage to be. Some senseless hoes who thought social media is the best court to judge rape case instead of police station has given names to sex acts in marriage too. So, we have sex rape in marriage now? Smh. Not sure a court can take up the case sef. If it's that possible, we for done read news of marital rape cases in court on Nairaland Frontpage tire. Just reason am. This is Nigeria not Abroad.
Saying Nigeria is not abroad is the reason why a lot you behave like wild animals. Even animals have mating calls. Why will you forcefully take sex from your wife? What do you mean by we now have sex rape in marriage? Isn't rape in any institution meant to be dealt with? Better open your minds and start thinking like a reasonable human being.
