post=92827444: Rape as defined under the Nigerian Criminal Code law can not be sustained as between a married man and his wife. Even in the English Criminal law, that was the case but courts are beginning to find a basis of fixing guilt on a party who has not consented to sex even in the marital relationship What is spousal rape? Does the Nigerian Law recognize spousal rape? Also known as marital rape is the non-consensual sexual intercourse between a husband and his wife. As of today, spousal rape is not an offence in Nigeria and therefore cannot be a cause of action in the courts. The laws criminalising rape in Nigeria specifically provide that sexual intercourse between a husband and wife is not unlawful. Section 258 (3) of the CLL provides that Sexual intercourse between a man and a woman who are married is not unlawful. Likewise section 282 (2) of the PC which states that Sexual intercourse by a man with his own wife is not rape, if she has attained the age of puberty. The Criminal Code in its section 6 also defines unlawful carnal knowledge as a carnal connection which takes place otherwise than between husband and wife. Spousal rape is therefore not recognized in Nigeria until the laws are amended to reflect this. However, a spouse may succeed in a suit for sexual abuse or sexual assault against the spouse who perpetrates those acts. 3 Likes |

Yes and no. There’s as such as marital rape but I believe this is a criminal case and only the authorities charge criminal cases. Citizens can only charge civil cases. But there are other things that she can sue for like emotional damage, etc |

gbami:You lack knowledge of legality in this country. A man can't rape his wife. It is understood under the constitution that when a woman signs that marriage certificate, she has intentionally and willingly given in to sexual acts with the man. Conversely, a man can sue his wife for denying him sex and the court will entertain it. 1 Like |

Muna4real: 1st what is the defination of rape ? and in that defination does it mention that its not rape if the couple are not married ? Then it wouldnt make sense to only SUE in a rape case, if you only sue it means you are seeking monetary compersation and the person walks free then would we call it rape ? or a case of sexual abuse ? In real rape case you both file a rape case and sue at the same time But remember am not denying that a married woman can file for rape against her husband, Rape is forced sexual intercause whether married or not |

Muna4real: You are sex starving your husband and complaining of rape,is like you are satisfing yourself sexually somewhere else. Women like you frustrate their husbands sexually and also complained when he goes out in search of what you couldn't give to him. 1 Like |

Anything goes in Nigeria. In sane climes, yes. With reference to rape within marriage and relationships, the London Metropolitan states, “Rape within marriage and relationships can also occur. Remember, sex is about consent. If your partner or husband has forced you into having sex with them, this is rape. We treat this as seriously as any other rape or sexual assault.” SOURCE: https://www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/rsa/rape-and-sexual-assault/what-is-rape-and-sexual-assault/ If you live in sane climes and you have non consensual sex with your wife or partner, you’re going to prison. When you finish serving the term, depending on your residency status, you’ll be deported. If you’ve naturalised, your career is pretty much over because criminal record and your presence on sex offender register means you’re utterly and totally roasted. You can just jump into the Thames in London, or Clifton suspension in Bristol, Tyne Bridge in Newcastle. Don’t let 3-5 mins of pleasure ruin your life. |

When you enter into marriage with the oversabi women. What of the wives that force the deck to rise and jump on top of their husband to play match? Divorce your husband if you are tired of the marriage,that's better. 2 Likes |

Barcelona's terrible season came to an embarrassing end as Bayern Munich put them to the sword with an 8-2 whitewashing in Portugal on Friday night. The German champions made light work of the fixture many considered the game of the round as early the first half. Bayern opened the scoring four minutes into the encounter when Mueller fired home a left footed strike after a knockdown from lewandowski. https://chukybright..com/2020/08/battered-and-bruised-bayern-put-eight.html |

Marital rape and men/boys as victims are not recognised in both the Criminal Code (section 358) and the Penal Code (section 282). Hence, it will be a purely academic exercise, and one in futility, for a Nigerian wife or man/boy to sue for rape. This is yet another section of our law that should be amended. 5 Likes 1 Share |

gbami:even with camera in the current Nigerian law unless amended in the future husband is not criminally responsible for raping his wife. there's nothing like husband rapes his wife. He can only be charged for assault in case of domestic violence. I don't know where that barbecue man dey get him marital/spousal rape from he dey talk like say he knows pass everyone he should get a copy of criminal code and learn |
