I need to answer someones question; if a wife is married and she doesn't say no to the husband, and it doesnt cost her anything because she's not in the body-then can she be able to say no to the husband about sex? Isn't it his right to want to sleep with his wife? Otherwise she married him by" false advertising" so to speak. Maybe the question doesn't make sense.

To answer your subject line: yes. Any one who is coerced, forced, drugged etc to have intimate contact against their true wishes, is considered to have been violated.
Marriage is not for sexual relations only! And I won't even cover the "doesn't cost her anything" because I'm sure other members here will! __________________ |

Rape is rape. Marriage does not give anyone the right to force themselves upon another.
However if you are in the United States it appears that different states have different opinions of this matter</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font> July 5, 1993, marital rape became a crime in all 50 states, in at least one section of the sexual offense codes, usually regarding force. Mar. 96, 33 states still have some exemptions from prosecution for rape, e.g. when the husband does not need to use force because the wife is most vulnerable (temporarily or permanently, physically or mentally legally unable to consent)! Such marital privileges are also extended to unmarried cohabitants who sexually attack their partners in CT, DE, IA, MN & WV. --from National Clearinghouse on Marital and Date Rape Women's History Research Center Inc. link below </div></font></blockquote><font class="post"> Please see this page for more info: http://www.vaw.umn.edu/documents/vaw...ape/mrape.html </font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font> Resources on Marital Rape Center for Constitutional Rights 666 Broadway, 7th Floor New York, NY 10012 212-614-6464 Services available: provides a brochure (English and Spanish are available) entitled "Stopping Sexual Assault in Marriage."

A woman ALWAYS has a right to say no. A woman is NOT just a wife, she is a person. Your body is yours and nobody else has any "rights" to it. If the husband doesn't like it, tough. He'll have to live it, or go elsewhere. It's her body.
YES, a wife can be raped. __________________  Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name ~Alanis Morissette |

It doesn't make any difference who does it - husband, father, friend, lover - rape is rape. Whether you 'leave your body' or don't make sound, it is rape, it is wrong, and it should not be happening to you. I hope you've managed to look at some of the links posted.

Rape is rape, plain and simple Kathy. If you were physically unable to object, it's still rape, no matter if thre is a piece of paper stating marital ties.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
