I don't think so. Just the same way a guy cannot file a rape case against a lady. He can only file a sexual harassment case.

Right now, a guy can't file for rape in Nigeria?

Interesting.

Is rape only for the unmarried? Or can a woman sue her husband for rape? I'm just asking, is it lawful?

Not in Nigeria but in other countries, you can.

Yes, a husband can rape his wife..

I know you are popular on Nairaland, but right now, I don't give a Bleep.
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.


I can't believe one single individual can be so daft. Good Lord!

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
Madam spitter
Last time I checked marriage is not by force o, if you don't like the terms and conditions, just don't bother getting into one. Remain single, you will be fine, that way you don't have to worry about a husband who may rape you one day.
SyberKate:
For those who may misinterpret the point I tried to make earlier, yes I agree a husband or a wife may try to have sexx with their spouse in the course of their marriage and one of the involved party may not be in the mood, yes this can happen but because it is what you signed up for when you got married in the first place therefore proving your spouse raped you in your marriage becomes difficult. So it is not exactly rape but now more like abuse.

its only a pervert a foolish person and un thoughtful person that we ask this question ..its a case in the court of law but not punishable ..you'd be seen as unsound ..if your marriage is not bringing out any fruit ,and its toxic ,you don't have urge to make love to him any longer ..you can call it a quit ..marriage no be false and no be do or die , stop being evil wicked and vile ,there are single mom out there living their best of life ,they are single women too still living to the life to the fullest..even the bible said choose he who you will serve

Why don't you divorce him instead?

If you feel uncomfortable with sex in marriage the best way to go about it is to divorce him and let him get a woman that is ready to take your place joyfully and let another man who is ready to be sex starved take his place. Simple logic!

What are you even talking about? That a woman is now an object of sex just because she's married to one pervert? What happened to consent?

Rape should be condemned!!!

I bet you won't give your daughter same advice

Re: Can A Woman Sue Her Husband For Rape? by SyberKate(f): 8:20am On Aug 15, 2020
People please if you are tired of your marriage please just divorce your husband or wife. It is very well within your right to do so, no body will beat you if you come out and say your husband is not who you thought he was when you married him and therefore you are divorcing him.

But since you don't want to divorce him and you what to form WOKE therefore you go and sue your husband for rape, my question now is how do you live in peace with a man you just sued?
Do you think or still expect him to take you serious as a wife? If the marriage don tire you just divorce, SIMPLE.
There are other ways a couple can come to an understanding when they have a dispute, NOT SUEING

Don't come here and be shouting rape, rape at every incident of not being in the mood or not giving consent, drawing attention from real rape victims who need help.

There is what is called marital rape or spousal rape, but under Nigeria law, a husband cannot rape his wife, hence making it not prosecutable. So long you are legally married, each cannot deny each other one of the things that binds them, if you are under any marital rape which would come with abuse, quit the marriage by filing a divorce. Again, once you are legally married, a husband cannot be termed to rape his wife under the nigeria laws. Marital rape is foreign and hence is better resolved privately and not rather by the government. Let me add, once you are legally married, there is an implied general sexual consent at all times which you both cannot deny each other, that is where understanding should come in.

Re: Can A Woman Sue Her Husband For Rape? by tunjilana: 8:58am On Aug 15, 2020
In Nigeria u cant sue your spouse for rape( that is sleeping with you without consent) because it has been agreed that consent has been perpetually given as at marriage

However u can sue him for every inappropriate act leading to the sex e.g. violence, abuse or use of dangerous physical force , harmful threat (saying, I will not give u money for aso ebi smiley is not harmful threat).

In all, these laws exist to ensure no one can harm their spouse while also ensuring no one can manipulate the law to punish their spouse and I believe strongly it should be left that way.

If u no longer feel the urge to be sexually involved with your spouse and you have tried all option and it is not working, it is best to quit and be with the one who sparks your plug. It is fraudulent to remain there and be deriving all the benefits of marriage while u turn yourself into a prison bait for the man.

Hmm complex case. Personally I don't think so. All she has to do is to leave the guy. Rape and domestic violence follow the same pattern

The man will now sue the wife for deprivation of his right. What he legally paid for you are depriving him of have it. So the will should be sue for that
