Your comment does not address the key points in mine.<p>There is no doubt that marital&#x2F; spousal rape needs to be criminalized. Criminalization, of course, is not going to entirely eliminate it[1] - which brings me to the point I&#x27;m trying to make: when both social-conditioning and law-and-order have failed[2], what&#x27;s the solution?<p>Moreover this is not a gender issue, as the likes of you ignorantly make it out to be (in an fervent attempt to distract via identity politics), as the reverse is equally applicable -- such as, to use your phraseology, letting women with divorce-rape fantasies to explain everything else away and act them out with no perception of wrongdoing[3] -- where the aforementioned question continues to hold.<p>--<p>[1] The West has historically had the idea that by marriage a woman gives irrevocable consent for her husband to have sex with her any time he demands it ... and even though marital&#x2F; spousal rape has recently been criminalized (made a crime in all 50 states in the US by 1993, for example), it has not entirely eliminated it.<p>[2] The very fact that marital&#x2F; spousal rape continues to be prevalent even among countries where it has been criminalized suggests that both social-conditioning and law-and-order have failed, in regards to entirely eliminating it. Hence, my question: what&#x27;s the solution?<p>[3] Some unscrupulous women in India are wont to extort money and harass their husband&#x27;s entire extended family. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.498a.org" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.498a.org</a>
