As far as rape is concerned, Rape is rape! Not justifiable, even marital rape , buh here in Nigeria there's no law bounding MARITAL RAPE! , our leaders doesn't see it as an offense, well maybe it's not I don't know .

I sha know rape is not justifiable!

I know rape is not justifiable. That is clear.

But that doesnt address the questions I asked. Like what purnishment should the law give for a husband that rapes

Say no to rape o.
I no support rape but I have a question that needs answer.

During dating: a girl's body belongs to her (and not him) and she has right over it, a boy's money belong to him (and not her) and he has right over it.

During marriage: a wife's body belongs to her ( and not her husband after bride price) and she has right over it but a husband's money belongs to both the husband and wife. What's the explanation?


If a husband is reported by the wife for rape and found guilty what punishment should the law give to him? Should it be a fine, Imprisonment(how long) or castration?

Don't get it twisted, it's just a question so everyone can learn. The reason I am asking this is because of what Anita Joseph said that: "Your Husband Can't Rape You". Again say no to rape.

I was also thinking, since it's archaic to own a wife or her body like property as it is in our African culture, shouldn't the paying of bride price be abolished? That way you see her as an equal partner and it saves your money.

And the idea of splitting the family bills 50:50 will help too. Your money will be yours while her money will be hers. I think on this ground marital rape will gain ground.
