I started to read this thread and was shocked ,first with the incident then with some comments about "wifes duties " in any marriage ceremonies I have heard of or witnessed they never included sex as duty ,would two people not enjoy the "act " or imitate moments if both were not willing able and wanting to ,It really is much better when both parties are in agreement and secondly rape used to be pushable by death in some areas of the world

This article is about a form of sexual assault. For other uses, see Rape (disambiguation).
Rape is a form of
assault involving the non-consensual use of the sexual organs of another person's body. The assailant can be of either sex, as can their target.
Rape is generally considered one of the most serious
sex crimes and can be very difficult to prosecute. Consent may be absent due to duress arising from the use, or threat, of overwhelming force or violence, or because the subject is incapacitated in some way such as intoxication and/or underage innocence. In some cases coercion might also be used to negate consent.
There is no universally accepted distinction between rape and other forms of assault involving one or both participant's sexual organs. Some criminal codes explicitly consider all kinds of forced sexual activity to be rape, whereas in others only acts involving a coupled penis and vagina are included. Some restrict rape only to instances where a woman is forced by a man. Other assaults involving sexual organs in some way may then be grouped under the term
sexual assault.
In some jurisdictions rape may also be committed by assailants using objects, rather than their own body parts, against the sexual organs of their target. In recent years, there have been more instances of men filing claims of rape against women assailants.

[edit] Definitions of rape
The Rape of the Sabine Women, a 1582 sculpture by
Giambologna.
The word
rape originates from the
Latin verb
rapere: to seize or take by force. The word originally had no sexual connotation and is still used generically in English (see
rape (word)). The
history of rape, and the alterations of its meaning, is quite complex. The Latin term for the act of rape itself is
raptus.
In most jurisdictions the crime of rape is defined to occur when sexual intercourse takes place (or is attempted) without valid consent of one of the parties involved. It is frequently defined as penetration of the anus or the vagina by a penis. In some jurisdictions the penetration need not be by penis but can be by other body parts (
e.g. fingers) or by objects (
e.g. bottles), or may involve the forcing of a vagina or anus onto a penis by a female.
Other jurisdictions expand the definition of rape to include other acts committed using the sexual organs of one or both of the parties, such as
oral copulation and
masturbation, for example, again enacted without valid consent.
The lack of valid consent does not necessarily mean that the victim explicitly refused to give consent. Generally, consent is considered invalid if it is obtained from someone who is:
- Under any kind of duress (force, violence, blackmail, etc.)
- Judgementally impaired or incapacitated by alcohol or drugs (legal or otherwise)
- Mentally impaired whether by illness or developmental disability
- Below the age of consent defined in that jurisdiction
Statutory rape refers to a sexual act that is considered rape by the
law regardless of whether it was coercive or
consensual. Such laws are common and exist in order to prevent adults from having sex with
minors who are deemed legally unable to give effective informed consent.
Sexual activity involving a person below the
age of consent is often known as statutory rape although some jurisdictions prefer terms such as "unlawful sexual intercourse" to avoid the forcible connotation of the word.
The
Brazilian Penal Code defines rape as unconsensual
vaginal sex. Therefore, unlike most of
Europe and the Americas, male rape,
anal rape, and
oral rape are not considered to be rape crimes. Instead, such an act is a "violent attempt against someone's modesty" ("Atentado violento ao pudor"). The penalty, however, is the same
Definition: Marital rape is any unwanted sexual acts by a spouse or ex-spouse, committed without consent and/or against a person's will, obtained by force, or threat of force, intimidation, or when a person is unable to consent. These sexual acts include intercourse, anal or oral sex, forced sexual behavior with other individuals, and other sexual activities that are considered by the victim as degrading, humiliating, painful, and unwanted.
Also Known As: Spousal rape, wife rape
Common Misspellings: martial rape
