Our legal system correctly reflects the fact that nothing can be further from the truth by leaving consensual sexual acts within the domain of private behavior into which the government needs not to intervene, while making forced sex against somebody's will a punishable criminal offense.

Perhaps that is an accurate statement where you live. However, it is inaccurate as applied to many states in the U.S. For example, in the state in which I live, a court can order a rapist to counseling and put no mark on his permanent record if he happens to be married to his accuser.
