Re: Islam and marital rape...
Duh! Bro, I said rape is about violating or exerting forcefully, no mention of concentual here.
:) calm down lol I am saying that there is a difference between concentual sex and forced sex, whether IN or OUT of wedlock. Your wife is a human being... many people use forced sex just to make a point to show their wives "who's the boss around here", or to punich them for something as an act of terrorising them ... I consider that RAPE! There is nothing concentual or sacred about such a dispicable act!
Rape is most often used in the context of sexual relations.
But is it always?
To violate a right your not supposed to have it to begin with. To abuse a right you have the right in the first place in order to abuse it.
Right to what? Using your wife as object of your frustration or anger?
When you are married you have the right to have sex with your wife or husband (in Islam) so you can't violate it because you are already entitled to it. Yes you can abuse it. People don't get married to just live with one another. Please don't be mixing up non-muslim norms with muslims norms. Islam looks upon marriage differently than western cultures do.
Again, mixing culture with Islam is a mistake.
Are you married?
Yes... how else would I be debating this topic?
