Those exemptions regard, for example, when a man is legally married to someone below the age of consent. Normally this would be statutory rape, but their marriage protects him from that charge.Then you are not looking well enough. There have been many posted in this very thread and in fact, there have been court cases that struck down some of those laws in various states. The link you posted is current laws, not past laws. But right from that site:
The Senator opposed the law because he didn't see how it could be enforced. Neither do you. Neither do I. And that's my point. When there's no evidence of a rape, the wife shouldn't have a card to play to ruin her husband's reputation. The law should be struck down, but here's the thing...the law is not in jeopardy. There is no pending legal action taking place here. No pending legislation, no pending court opinion. Nothing.
Add to that the fact that this is all 12 years old.
This is why I have no reservation necro'ing a year-old thread, because here we have someone necro'ing a 12-year-old quote.
