Lool this marital rape matter that cause brouhaha in family section .

Basically rape = sex without consent or through force or threat of force.

Since under Nigerian law consent for sex everytime has been given during the marriage vow, how about the forceful part does consent given during marriage vows validate forceful penetration? I don't think it does

What of men that have violent sex with their wives against their will and the wives get injured under what category is that ?

Most normal couples would hardly have any situation like these but we forget some people are beast like in nature.

Simple, if you want to hoard kpomo from your husband or wife ?then don't get married.
On your marriage day you and your family gave binding consent to share many things which your body is one.

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.

What is a crime is marrying an under age girl. That's where you build from first. A person below 18 is not eligible to be married. I have not written what I think I wrote what the law is and even you choose to call it demonic, it is still the law. Have a good day sir.

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.

Where did you hear such term "marital rape". It is non existent. Technically, there is no rape in marriage!
There could be sexual assault.
You have a phone that has google and you still chose to dismiss the word. Slave morality at it again.

If in marriage a woman can sue her husband for rape, that is to say any of the spouses can sue the other for sexual harassment.

If you want to be celibate don’t get married biko. There are other ways to go about this. Either you divorce or sue your husband on sexual violence/domestic violence, it is very difficult to prove rape in court when you’re married.

You got it wrong. If your assertion is true, then the minimum bride price to be placed on a lady trained all through to University Level (Public Schools) shouldn't be anything less than N5million, while those trained all through Private Schools shouldn't be less than N10m, and those sent oversees for training shouldn't be less than N20million.

So you can see that you are very wrong. Bride Price is a very significant aspect of marriage rites, and it attest to the fact that the father of the lady truthfully released his daughter to the lineage of the man seeking her hand in marriage, as a wife to their son and a daughter (adopted) to the receiving family (elders).
pls are you talking about Nigeria bride price, millions or is it joke, and if it's true which tribe pls?

in Israel ,a wife can sue the husband for rape ,and currently most Israel men don't want to marry Israel Ladies instead they prefer to marry another nationality ,,,and most Israel Ladies are regretting their actions

A case of "Be careful what you ask for,, you migh tjust get it"! grin grin

I think the Devil has chosen some women (and their lackey men) to destroy mankind, by destroying the institution of marriage and its values.
Marriage may not be perfect but at least we can work to improve it instead of festering the hostility between Husbands and Wives.

always ask for consent mr man , per her , get her gifts . That’s the way normal people do things. Care and love her right. Sex won’t be a problem. If it persist get a divorce

...and thsi your "care and love her right" is determined by the woman, ko?
A woman that doesnot even know what she wants, will be the one in charge of determining whether the love and care you give her is right, as in 'right enough to consent to sex in her marriage"?
You are certainly out of your elements!
if you think he has to" beg you for sex or you have to use it as a bargain-chip or weapon of extrotion", then dont blame him if he snaps one day and bash your head against the wall, you had it coming! undecided undecided

Its your body, the marriage is your decision, just like the Divorce is your right, use it and get out of the marriage and let a lady that knows what conjugal RIGHT means, take your place otherwise, you are responsible for your own safety.

Why sue your husband over rape (sex)? Get yourself a eunuch and your sex life will rest in peace. I don't think African culture recognises anything like rape in marriage.

In the advanced countries

Marital rape in United States law, also known as spousal rape, is 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. Today, marital rape is illegal in all 50 US states, though the details of the offence vary by state.

In the Nigeria

For now, under Nigerian criminal law, a man may be charged with assault, depending on the circumstances under which he has sexual intercourse with his wife, but he cannot be charged with raping his wife.

Does this law also happen both ways?

Can a man sue his wife/ partner for rape?

Notice the language used in the text, it applies principally to women and the law was initiated by women, for the benefit of women.
So, it is just one other tool in the toolbox of British Women, to servitude and enslave their men.

I dont envy white men at all, no ownder most of them resort to extreme violence on their spouse, to get even. undecided

Darn,this guy is making up untruths out of his pocket.

Marital rape is a fact and yes it is actually a crime.

We know you never saw the four walls of any reputable institution of higher learning ....Pele.
so what section of the criminal code you'll use to back your claim up in the court, how can you prove and win a case in the court of law when an offence has not been committed or you'll quote it from your high institution handout? what you don't know is an action may constitute an offense in the UK but in Nigeria it won't be an offense I'm not a graduate as you've said but I'm learned in this aspect of law we're talking about, until any future amendment a man can't sue a woman for rape and a wife can't sue her husband for rape and win unless the judge is just moved by emotion case closed

Rubbish. Because a woman chooses to stay with a man does not mean that he owns her it is the same vice versa. You people are just affirming what people think about marriage, slavery with cheap benefits, this is why Africans will remain ever backwards, our inability to reason and be rational is in the dustbin.
