Re: Islam and marital rape...
I agree with above post.
So its a big deal if a bonafide authentic married couple has sexual encounter the first night even without force?
Married couple has an agreement for that matter.
I am not condoning physical torture or abuse under any circumstances.
In marriage a woman has just as much right to have sex with her husband as husband to have sex with the wife. No two ways about it.
I just cannot comprehend the idea of 'rape' in marriage. Its rare at best and not even rape per se.
Its a forceful act of sex between two adults who agreed to give each other right to have sex.
It must be dealt with accordingly by the family and society.
The root cause must be sought and remedied.
It may be a sign of other marital problems.
