Re: Rape and marriage
4:19 is not about sexual behaviour with the wife but it is about inheritance and the ruling on it just like the topic of Surah Nissa which revloves around the surah itself (context.)
24:33 is NOT about relationship with one’s wife… The interpretation to apply and generalize it for a wife is completely wrong.
2:223 also does not stop any act but suggest to do a good deed as well; and prophet:saw: actually taught us a dua for such occassion…
here are the three common translations:
YUSUFALI: Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will; but do some good act for your souls beforehand; and fear Allah. And know that ye are to meet Him (in the Hereafter), and give (these) good tidings to those who believe.
PICKTHAL: Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate) so go to your tilth as ye will, and send (good deeds) before you for your souls, and fear Allah, and know that ye will (one day) meet Him. Give glad tidings to believers, (O Muhammad).
SHAKIR: Your wives are a tilth for you, so go into your tilth when you like, and do good beforehand for yourselves, and be careful (of your duty) to Allah, and know that you will meet Him, and give good news to the believers.
Islamically, there is no such thing to rape one’s own wife. This is a teminology of those westerners who go and share beds with a different person every night and calling it Freedom but put a restriction of the sacred relationship found only in marriage..
