Marital rape exists, I experienced it – actress, Victoria Inyama
Nollywood Actress, Victoria Inyama has opposed an opinion by her colleague, Anita Joseph who stated that there is no such thing as rape in marriage.
Anita in a video made with her husband argued that a woman cannot claim her husband raped her if he had sex with her when she wasn’t in the mood. She opined that the body of a woman is the food of her husband and should be made available whenever he needs to feed on it.
Reacting to this in a video, Victoria said marital rape exists as she has experienced it first hand.
“Can a husband rape? Yes a husband can rape his spouse. It depends. Let me define it. Marital rape or spousal rape is the act of sexual intercourse with ones spouse without the spouse’s consent. The lack of consent is essential here because it does not need to involve physical violence. Marital rape is a form of domestic violence and sexual abuse.
Husbands can rape wife. I do not know about wife raping a husband. The most important thing is consent is needed. A lot of women constantly raped in their marriage. They are so ashamed to even talk about it. I have experienced it and I am learning about it. The trauma and the damage it causes is beyond your understanding” she said
Though when talking about sex between the couple it ought to be mutual consent but in some instances, one may not be in the mood but we can not count it as rape unless it comes with violence and brutality.
Rape?
When you two are one?
The best platform for sex is in the office of marriage please and you guys can give it to yourselves as you please
I don’t see the need bringing rape into marriage
though married couple should not regard forced sex as rape but men tend to abuse their partner with unauthorised authority. To a descernable mind, our wives are not our sex slaves. But a good wife ought to know when the husband needs her and ought to submit whether in the mood or not, and men should learn not to abuse it. That s the essence of understanding in marriaget
