In most instances yes it would seem to be difficult to impossible to prove. That shouldn't stop it from being a crime in the places it is possible to prove though.
Thanks, fixed :mrgreen:A little off topic but how the hell do you rape someone who has been incinerated?
The reason Senator Black is getting heat on this is because he doesn't know how you can get a conviction....but so far neither does anyone in this thread.Or is DICK Black's view reasonable and valid?
The Republican this thread is about was quoted saying:
I understood the scope of this thread being no vaginal abrasion and/or tearing, possibly bruising or scratches.
If you can prove rape, then that's rape, it's still a crime, why should there be a different charge if you're married to the victim?In most instances yes it would seem to be difficult to impossible to prove. That shouldn't stop it from being a crime in the places it is possible to prove though.
The trick is proving it in court.How stupid does one have to be to assume that a rape causes no injury when the rapist is the victims spouse?
Maybe she bruises herself and accuses you of assaulting her. You can be falsely accused of a lot of crimes and I don't see that as a reason to make them non-crimes.

So then, Spousal'Assault? Spousal'Grand Theft Auto? Spousal'Identity Theft?Maybe she bruises herself and accuses you of assaulting her. You can be falsely accused of a lot of crimes and I don't see that as a reason to make them non-crimes.
So how do you prove that sex was rape and not consensual if there's no injury, no separation?I don't have to take that idiot republican to court to know that he's a right wing moron.
Rape doesn't always cause an injury, and so the scope of this thread is how to prove a rape when there is no injury.How stupid does one have to be to assume that a rape causes no injury when the rapist is the victims spouse?
Sexist double standards!!I voted "Yes", crime. But if my wife will rape me tonight, I will not call to police.eace

No one said that. If a wife complies under duress, that's still rape even-though it likely will not injure her because of her compliance.It takes a special brand on stupidity to think that when one spouse rapes another, there are no injuries

That's not the case. Husbands would in no way be exempt from a rape charge. What the Congressman is suggesting is getting rid of the redundant charge of Spousal'Rape, leaving only the standard rape charge a non-married man would face. No means no, rape is rape. It shouldn't matter if they're married.I assumed that what the congressman was proposing would essentially prevent spouses from being convicted of rape.
You must have an iPhone.But then again I'm on my phone and didn't read the full article because I can only have one window open.

Woman may be afraid to resist. Such cases of rape without causing physical injury, a lot.
Spousal rape, one of the many delightful traditions of marriage that should never change.
Yahoo!
So there it is.
Man and woman are married.
Can a man rape his wife? Can he be charged with the crime of rape? Sentenced and sent to jail?
That kind of rape.
Is there such a thing as spousal rape?
Does no mean no in a marriage?
Or is DICK Black's view reasonable and valid?
I voted "yes" but I don't think rape should be the charge. I think it's closer to a serious assault charge.
When sex is part of legal marital duty that means to get to spousal rape at least one of the spouses has already violated the contract, yes? Want to have sex only when YOU want to, don't get married.
That said, if force is applied, again there are other charges available without the need for the whole rape question.
