Seriously! It needs more awareness. Most Nigerian women don't know this.

Ignorance is no excuse .. the sad part is that despite they choose to rub that ignorance on our faces a simple research will reveal.this things less than 10 sec..

This is a frustrated woman taking out her anger on an innocent child. Transfer of aggression.. is just so sickening so damn wrong.

Lawyer with zero knowledge of what's obtainable in other countries. Nigeria will get there one day. Slowly but surely. Some of you will relocate to saner climes with this mindset and get jail term.

Agreed the subject is sensitive .. but It is what It is .. No need to get worked up or get vulgar.. it is agreed its a crime in Nigeria and not a crime in some others .. age of consent in Nigeria even varies from the North(penal code and south (Criminal Code) how about that.. our laws are terrible and need to be changed but it's imperative to understand the rational behind the argument..Even in the US where it is applicable in some jurisdictions, particular circumstances have to be duly considered and it's very hard to prove .. a lot is left to the discretion of the jury and the Judge.

Have seen lot if conviction of rape in marriage..
I go compiled them send for you.

Not in Nigeria .. maybe in other climes .. law is not universal what is a crime in one is not in another.. please take time to read


There have been numerous cases where women have accused their husbands of having sexual intercourse with them without their consent; and consent is the main ingredient that determines if the act of rape have taken place.

Some women go as far as taking up the case to court to get judgement but it’s pathetic that they end up losing the case even when they provide evidence and witnesses to prove that their spouse had sex with them without their consent.

They lose the case for the single reason that the act of marital rape or as it is otherwise called spousal rape is not a crime in Nigeria “yet” i.e a man who is legally married to a woman cannot be held to have raped his wife despite the fact that the man penetrated the woman by force or by threat.

The reason that the concept of marital or spousal rape is not a crime and is yet to be made a crime in Nigeria can only be traced to the cultural connotations of the Nigerian nation.

Rape is defined by section 357 of the criminal code act thus: “Any person who has unlawful carnal knowledge of a woman or girl, without her consent, or with her consent, if the consent is obtained by force or by means of threats or intimidation of any kind, or by fear of harm, or by means of false and fraudulent representation as to the nature of the act, or, in the case of a married woman, by personating her husband, is guilty of an offence which is called rape”.

Section 6 of the criminal code act for the sake of clarity defines what the phrase “carnal knowledge” means as stated in section 357 of the act and it defines it to mean “carnal connection which takes place otherwise than between husband and wife”.

This statutory definition simply implies that when there’s a sexual intercourse between and a man and a woman and it happened without the woman’s consent, it can only be classified as rape when the woman is not married to the man but if they are married, the offense of rape cannot be said to have been committed by the man.

The penal code act as applicable in the northern part of Nigeria further collaborates the criminal code act of the southern Nigeria in stating categorically that a man who is married to a woman cannot be held to have committed the crime of raping the wife no matter under which circumstances he had sex with the woman.

The section 282(2) of the penal code act provides thus: “Sexual intercourse by a man with his wife is not rape, save and except the wife have not attained the age of puberty”. This is to say that a man can only be held to have raped his wife according to the penal code only if the wife have not attained the age of puberty but if the wife is of the age of puberty he won’t be held to have committed the offense of rape against the wife.

Therefore, as it stands today, a wife who is legally married to a man cannot claim that her husband raped her no matter the circumstances under which the husband had sex with her and as it is the law that an individual cannot be punished for an offense which is not provided for in any Nigerian law as of the time being despite how moral justifiable punishing the offender can be. This is the provision of section 36(12) of the 1999 constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria and it states thus: “Subject as otherwise provided by this Constitution, a person shall not be convicted of a criminal offence unless that offence is defined and the penalty therefore is prescribed in a written law, and in this subsection, a written law refers to an Act of the National Assembly or a Law of a State, any subsidiary legislation or instrument under the provisions of a law”.

To this effect, since the offense of spousal or marital rape is yet to provided in any law in Nigeria, a man cannot be convicted for the offense of raping his wife as the offense of spousal or marital rape is “yet” to be criminalised.

We sincerely hope that spousal or marital rape gets criminalised in Nigeria as soon as possible so that men who force themselves on their wives get to be severely punished and the women get succor from the traumatising experience.

Eriokanmi:
So, what happens when the husband isn't in the mood due to emotional trauma caused by family wahala or work stress but the wife forced him cos she's in the mood? What do we call that?

Its called work .. its a husbands duty to service his wife failure to do that is a ground for divorce and vice versa

dollynnn:
It is possible to charge a woman for rape where she aids or procures another to rape

No she can only be charged as an accessory to rape .. not for the act itself .. its different from murder charges where a person who procures a murder can be charged for the murder itself

jeromestarks:
There can be rape even in marriage. Check the definition of rape before you come out here to spill nonsense.

Well sorry to burst your bubble law is not universal what is legal in some jurisdictions may be illegal in others. Maybe in under parts of american law a man can rape his wife depending on jurisdiction (states have different laws), but under Nigerian law a man cannot rape his wife as long they are lawfully married even if they are seperated ..rape under the law is sex without consent .. the operative word is consent .the institution of marriage once conjugated gives consent. a man cannot rape his wife under Nigerian law , he can only be charged for indecent assault.. same way a woman cannot be charged with raping a man even though that happens too.. cos rape is penetration without consent according to the only a man can penetrate so women cant rape. our laws are obsolete and archaic but they are still law and until revoked or amended, it is what it is..

O god have mercy no comment .. .. no comment.. just no comment

If una no want una daughter to marry another faith why come to Australia? Una for sit in Afghanistan where Taliban can help you people kill her. Nansense

Abi .. idiots .. i dont know why they even give them visas . They should stay back and enjoy the freedom..

Rozross:
Our faith is very important in a relationship, don’t date or marry someone with a different belief, it doesn’t end well most times

Terrorists.. Prisoners.. Murderers Phycos

Are you guys trying to take him out .. if anything happens to obi hold keyamo.. why play in thag waters thats out of line

Face your leaders stop the blame game

Truthisunique2:
Me i don't support the tinubu but obi is a bigot and Igbo agenda if he isn't he should call out ipob (Simon ekpa) and condemn him and his organization use of violence

Secessionists promised to rubbish any "one nigeria" politician from east that comes abroad but adaobi has special exemption

I thought having the nerve to contest zoo presidency and divert biafrans focus is enough to provoke ipob

sharrappppp keep deceiving yourself.. all he needs is 25% in at least 3 Yoruba states and he s certain to get it if not more..

DOTian:
This is no more unknown gunmen thing. This is now obviously a gang up against the east. Unfortunately, Igbo elites are still drinking from that One Nigeria koolaid to use their brains.

Some people outside Igbo land who are desperate to dictate to the igbos are now hiding under the cloak of unknown gunmen to wreck havoc. This is the same people that killed Dora Akunyilis husband.

A war has been declared against the East in other to force the east back to 1970 and the sooner the Igbo elites appreciates this fact and come out with a solid response, the better for them .

.

Keep decieving your selves .. you kill your own .. shed your blood and drink your flesh .. its sad.. when will you wake up and see that you are hurting yourselves.

Amb1045:
The story above story was among one of the reasons they forced Christianity to Africans we where better than them in all ramifications. They played politics with religion

Now.that they have left you to govern yourselves what have u achieved in over 60 years.. if not for the british westernization many of you will still be living in caves and mud houses..the truth is the british brought civilization to the world .. they dint start slave trade .. we were already selling ourselves as slaves long before the came in here and we are still selling our selves as slaves long after they are gone.. enough of the blame .. we are ourselves are our problem.. not the british not their religion .. not their politics .. we are to blame for our problems .. africa suffers from the resource curse.. bad leaders bad followers .. bad people who prefer to blame others rather than take responsibility and move on..

Rozross:
Yes but any woman into drugs is as a result of a bad and horrible choice she makes in a boyfriend or husband. Drugs and stealing ain’t a woman’s thing on a normal ground

See them them.don come.here
. Always find a way to blame men for everything.. as is always the norm

ADHD!

ADHD kids destroy property as a way of coping with anger.

They can't control there frustrations and extreme feelings until they destroy properties.

It actually calms there nerves for a while and make them feel satisfied.

Best is to wait until the girl has calmed down before punishing her, while she's growing and she continues such,they should make her accountable for the destroyed properties

Brain Resetting slap will cure ADHD p

Bubs Marwa did more as a gov than tinubu

Jakande built modern Lagos not tinubu ..

RZArecta:
see oluku wey dey bark like nkita come carry me comot from Lagos na whether craze no dey worry you

Oh so u even dey here sef.. no need to waste space for ya head.. keep trekking.. exercise

hedonido:
What is sad for you is that you don't know that there are saner, better places to live in Nigeria than Lagos. Nigeria is a shit hole in totality but then, in a matter of comparative badness, Lagos is as bad as it gets.

For your mind now u don write English abi.. dey ur dey and leave our Lagos alone.. we like it like that..we don't want bikes .. abii is it your Lagos.. we will get there..

RZArecta:
Sufferhead state, always putting the cart before the horse or killing a good horse just for the fun of it. They made sure they destroyed Gokada and co where all riders were verified just so they could do this nonsense without a cheap alternative for a state with 20 million residents

Sharrap and leave our Lagos alone we like it like that.. if you saw what those gokada and opay bikes were doing on our roads u will appreciate why they had to go.. only lagosians understand Lagos.. for outsiders u cant just relate .. even though you guys are worse off keep decieving your selves.. lagosians will be fit .. mandatory exercise.. the vacuum will be filled u can be certain of that.. more korope and Keke will fill the vacuum sharp sharp..Lagos will move on

[quote author=hedonido post=116273049]Lagos is largely unliveable. And I don't mean them Ikoyi, VI, Ikeja GRA and the likes. I mean the real Lagos.

Traffic gridlock go frustrate your life such that even if you have a car, driving it around is such a hassle. Okay you say make you leave car for house take Okada do some sharp sharp movements, them kuku ban the Okada.

I really feel for folks living there full time. [/

So where do u live humour me.. it better not be another part of Naija cos it will be sad for u

Jostoman:
The Fear of loosing Lagos to opposition party in 2023. Fear catch them when they hear how many hausa Fulani that register for PVC in Lagos, Only God know how many Okada them don crush now.

Don't politicize this.. I don't like sanwo I think he is a stooge and a puppet but on this I am with him 100 percent ..lagosians demanded for it and we are not complaining.. it is stressful yes but we prefer this to aboki flooding everywhere and everything in the name of okada .. violent lots ....their wahala had become too much in Lagos.. we will rather treck than have them turn Lagos to sambisa.. Lagos will give an alternative..it will regulate .. the market is too big to ignore.. an app will be built like gokada as we.had before but this time more organized.. it's already being worked on
. For now let's clear everywhere ban all across Lagos .. let the ban continue

oyin44:
Apart from his strong health tinubu is political healthy....


See all the wonderful things he has done in Lagos that why Nigerians are pouring in to Lagos included obi himself..

And also....

People of South West in their thousands have poured into politics through tinubu connection

See liars

It's reflex action if someone attack me il defend myself it's simple

My advice .. get a lawyer to go to the station and give your statement .. they are probably already tracking you..

plaindealer:
I get your gist, Pandora go sweep the whole of Nigeria.....

E be like say den dey mix delusion inside the water you Pandora people dey drink..

You are the delusional one to think it's business as usual.. you never tire .. do you honestly think Nigeria can survive another 8 years of onslaught from these vampires .how much is your future worth .. Ronu ..fingers crossed

plaindealer:
At the end of the day, this is Peter Obi's sad reality.

They can make noise, and walk up and down Onitsha with their fake and imaginary 2 million-man march rally..

How do you win anything when your own fractured base of support has the lowest registered voters in Nigeria?

Very sad.

The same reason why he has won..he needs majority votes and 2/3 of all states.. that's 24 states southeast and south south in the bag that's already 26% and 11states five south east
and 6 south south christians in south west and APCs folly will ensure he gets at least 25% in 3 south west states out of 5.or even more. same goes for North Central and North East. Out of 7 North Central states Obi will sweep at least 4 and get 25% in 2 . same for North East.. will sweep at least 2 and get 25% in 3.. North West is not useful..Atiku tinubu and kwankwaso can share that .. u do the maths and stop decieving yourself that Obi has no chance.. jokers . .
The beautiful bride of this election is South South and North Central that's the only reason the shaky BAT will swallow his vomit and shamefully go and visit Jonathan and seek to negotiate with Wike who is tossing them up and down .. They all know they need South South .. they also know they can't win all. they are just hustling for 25% .The Christian factor, , Apc abysmal performance and the fear of Fulani as per Atiku already gives this to Obi ..keep laughing ..it will shock u ..
Obi only needs to focus and consolidate efforts on North central.and some key aspects of North East .. if he plays the cards well in those regions he has it already . Ortom and disgruntled silent giants like Babachair lawal , Dogara and others are key..ignore North Central at your peril..The numbers favour Obi that's why they are attacking on all fronts and paying jokers to come here and spew thrash ...them dey fear
