Common law states that when one gets married, one willingly consents
to having sex with the one to whom one is married. Because of the
feminist movement, such law is now only a distant memory. Instead,
every intercourse between husband and wife must now have consent
(mostly from the wife). The feminists believe that in doing this,
women will have some say in this male dominated world because they are
now the gatekeepers to men's natural desires. Although many true
women see that the feminists have gone too far, they, like most men,
did not think it's worth the effort to speak against things that are
unnatural.
Hnub,
I think the reason why the case here is a no go is because it is
clearly wrong. I do not see why the law should criminalize
intercourse between husband and wife. Should we look at this in a
broader context? NO. Good laws should only punish those who do
wrong. When laws punish both wrongdoers and rightdoers, the law is
bad and needs to be abolished. No second angle needs to be look at.
If these kinds of prosecution continues, pretty soon everyone is going
to require a court order in order to sleep with ones spouse.
