What country is that? Also Ill let you ponder on why there were no specific laws needed addressing the matter of a husband rsping their wife.
Whqt were the laws in regards to men raping women who werent their wife?
...and your seriously asking me if i think r*pe is ok?
The law regarding r*pe of non wives was stringent and complex
An overview from wiki
"One of the most oft-quoted passages in our jurisprudence" on the subject of r*pe is by Lord Chief Justice
Sir Matthew Hale from the 17th century, "r*pe...is an accusation easily to be made and hard to be proved, and harder to be defended by the party accused, tho never so innocent."
[14] Lord Hale is also the origin of the remark, "In a r*pe case it is the victim, not the defendant, who is on trial." However, as noted by Sir
William Blackstone in his
Commentaries on the Laws of England, by 1769 the common law had recognized that even a
prostitute could suffer r*pe if she had not consented to the act.
[15]
Section 16 of the
Offences against the Person Act 1828 read as follows:
And be it enacted, That every Person convicted of the Crime of r*pe shall suffer Death as a Felon
Here, "death as a felon" means death by
hanging and confiscation of the land and good, which were pronounced against felons, as opposed to the quartering which befell traitors. "Thus it was assumed that the definition of r*pe was so well understood and established by the common law of England that a statutory definition was unnecessary."
[16] The death penalty for r*pe was abolished by section 3 of the
Substitution of Punishments for Death Act 1841 which substituted
transportation for life. Transportation was abolished by the
Penal Servitude Act 1857, which substituted
penal servitude for life. These sections were replaced by section 48 of the
Offences against the Person Act 1861. Penal Servitude was abolished by the
Criminal Justice Act 1948, which substituted
imprisonment for life. These sections were replaced by sections 1(1) and 37(3) of, and paragraph 1(a) of the Second Schedule to the
Sexual Offences Act 1956.
