Yes Muna,
She can.
It is called Marital Rape!

Marital rape is also known as spousal rape,
It is a non-consensual sex in which the perpetrator is the victim's spouse.
It is a form of partner rape, of domestic violence, and of sexual abuse.



There you have it above ma.

Lawyers in the house can shed more light on this from Nigeria law perspective.
Thanks.

Where did you hear such term "marital rape". It is non existent. Technically, there is no rape in marriage!
There could be sexual assault.

It is NOT POSSIBLE, unless you haev not read a marriage Vow before or taken one before. I have.

Marriage is a CONTRACT, and Sex within the marriage is part and parcel of that contract.
When you take your marriage Vows, you were asked some questions, to which you MUST respond "I DO", before you can be pronounced Husband and Wife...... and one of those Question is:
Do you Miss X, take Mr. Y and your lawful wedded Husband?
I VOW to LOVE and CARE for you.
I promise to be your loyal companion
I take you will all your strengths and faults, in health and in sickness,
For better for Worse, For Richer, for Poorer
I pledge to you, my life, as a loving and faithful wife (husband), till death do us apart.

A good examination of the MARRIAGE VOW/PLEDGE above shows that each spouse body, belongs to the other spouse and since one cannot be accused of raping one's self, you cannot rape your wife, neither can you rape your husband.

Everyone takes what BELONGS to them, willfully.
As long as the two are married, that PLEDGE and CONTRACT exists between them.
The moment any of the spouses feels that they cannot fulfill that VOW anymore, they have to take steps to DISSOLVE the VOW (marriage) so as to be free of it and UNTIL that is done, the Pledge subsists, in all ramifications.

If you dont want sex with your husband, you just divorce him and he is no longer ENTITLED to the Sex anymore because the VOW has been broken.
But you cant accuse him of Rape, as long as you keep that Contract and Vow
.

Most ladies nowadays think less of the Pledge they make, when they enter into a marriage Contract, they are more interested in the Benefits and Razzmattazz of it but they sooner find out along the line that Trying to eat your Cake and having it, a sign of greed, is just as difficult and comes with a lot of pains.
You are not under any obligation to marry, enjoy your singleness and freedom but if and when you decide to trade it for marriage, doing so willfully, dont even think about trying to cheat on it
. undecided

Women are always looking for ways to trap men and hamstring them, using laws that the manipulate to get through the system but we must give it to them, they know how to get stupid men to line up behind their subtle plans, without raising suspicion. grin

Honestly, this is the dumbest idea I've ever come across and is a normal occurrence in developed nations where the more males are in prison, the more the government thrives. If you want to claim a man raped you, first of all make sure he is not your husband. Anything violence after marriage is domestic assault.

Read your comment again. Even if there is something called Marital rape, in your normal moral and God given conscience, do you think it's reasonable? You are saying "you hit them hard with the truth". Which truth? Are you the standard for the truth? Common shut up!

All the sane settings that God naturally programmed in humanity are being eroded daily all in the name of human right.

The world will naturally continue to decline because we are changing the natural patterns that has been from creation.

Judging by the oldest book I know, the Bible, there is no mention of things like Marital rape, gender equality, children claiming human rights at home, rights to choose your gender, marriage being between two consenting adults and no longer compulsorily between a man and a woman.

These days, divorces are too frequent, even for silly, childish reasons, homosexuals are advocating for special treatments. What is this world turning too? See yourself, see the way you are advocating for something really insane, Marital rape.

Now the world is being plagued by a lot of woes such that were never recorded before, several diseases, several natural hazards, sevaral negative happenings. Let me assure you that you are also giving a hand to support what is currently destroy this planet.

Marital rape is nonsense, and divorce is also one of the abnormality of the recent time. Why should you marry if you're not ready for frequent sex? Why should you marry if you don't love your wife enough to understand and ready to accept her sexual libido levels? at least sex is not a proof of love.

My issue with you is you advocating what is wrong and one of the factors currently destroying the world. There is not going to be peace in this world if we keep having matters as this and more importantly, people like you who advocate for cases like this.

I think God has given the earth up to a reprobate mind. If you know, you know. If you don't, care to know. Marital rape ko, martial art ni.

Rape as defined under the Nigerian Criminal Code law can not be sustained as between a married man and his wife. Even in the English Criminal law, that was the case but courts are beginning to find a basis of fixing guilt on a party who has not consented to sex even in the marital relationship

What is spousal rape? Does the Nigerian Law recognize spousal rape?

Also known as marital rape is the non-consensual sexual intercourse between a husband and his wife. As of today, spousal rape is not an offence in Nigeria and therefore cannot be a cause of action in the courts. The laws criminalising rape in Nigeria specifically provide that sexual intercourse between a husband and wife is not unlawful. Section 258 (3) of the CLL provides that Sexual intercourse between a man and a woman who are married is not unlawful. Likewise section 282 (2) of the PC which states that Sexual intercourse by a man with his own wife is not rape, if she has attained the age of puberty. The Criminal Code in its section 6 also defines unlawful carnal knowledge as a carnal connection which takes place otherwise than between husband and wife. Spousal rape is therefore not recognized in Nigeria until the laws are amended to reflect this. However, a spouse may succeed in a suit for sexual abuse or sexual assault against the spouse who perpetrates those acts.
having sex with an underage girl is rape , married or not . So u know . Because Nigeria careless for the girl child, don’t mean this rubbish laws make sense , since the wife can sue for sexual assault then it fine . But the saying that having sex with a girl who has started puberty because u hv married her isn’t rape . Is a demonic law.

Stop using india as an excuse we are in naija for petes sake where bride price reaches up to 10 million, and yes its a big deal parents are selling their daughters as goods, that's why i never liked the practice. But in my place bride price is 50nairA


Often times, we overemphasize brideprice and underestimate wedding cost.

What is truly taking the young men's investments in Nigeria is a/an expensive or societal wedding.
More essentially, many of these huge expenses are largely motivated by the intending wives.

Many abusive husbands, because of these spendings, wrongly assume they own the wives and can do anything, anyhow, anytime, any day.

It's wrong to forcefully have sex with your wife when you know she is emotionally switched off, unhappy, tired or even not just in the mood. And same applies to the man.

OLULAW:
Anything goes in Nigeria. In sane climes, yes.

With reference to rape within marriage and relationships, the London Metropolitan states, “Rape within marriage and relationships can also occur. Remember, sex is about consent. If your partner or husband has forced you into having sex with them, this is rape. We treat this as seriously as any other rape or sexual assault.”
SOURCE: https://www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/rsa/rape-and-sexual-assault/what-is-rape-and-sexual-assault/

If you live in sane climes and you have non consensual sex with your wife or partner, you’re going to prison. When you finish serving the term, depending on your residency status, you’ll be deported. If you’ve naturalised, your career is pretty much over because criminal record and your presence on sex offender register means you’re utterly and totally roasted. You can just jump into the Thames in London, or Clifton suspension in Bristol, Tyne Bridge in Newcastle. Don’t let 3-5 mins of pleasure ruin your life.

Does this law also happen both ways?

Can a man sue his wife/ partner for rape?

The [s]way you people throw this word Rape around is annoying.
First of all marriage is not a contractual agreement between two people agreeing to live together.

Marriage last time I checked is the solemnity of two people agreeing to become one. You don't go into marriage with the expectation of my body is still my body, NO in the truest sense of it, a man's body when he is married belongs to his wife, and the woman's body belongs to the husband. That is marriage, I don't know where people are getting this watered down version of marriage that even in marriage NO MEANS NO.

If you don't like what marriage stands for then don't get married, also last time I checked marriage is not by force or by fire.

If you are truly married and you love your husband dearly, why should any of the people in question refuse the other sex, and why should it be taken by force. I believe in a proper marriage setting, the man should have self control for when the woman is not in the mood if he loves her, SO NO I DON'T BELIEVE A MAN CAN RAPE HIS WIFE.[/s]
women will always be against women,, Am i surprised? Definitely not. So marriage validates rape to you. This is on of the reasons Africa will remain backwards. Spit
