Nollywood actress, Victoria Inyama, has countered the opinion of her colleague, Anita Joseph, who over the weekend faulted statement made by some married women that their husbands raped them when they weren't in the mood for sex.
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 from it. Read here.
Reacting to Anita's
video, Victoria said there indeed is a thing called Marital rape and that many
married women have experienced and are still experiencing it. She said sex even
in marriage should be with consent. She argued that forcefully having sex with
a spouse is another act of domestic violence.
She said she has
experienced marital rape and that it leaves so many women damaged.
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
