finally getting rid of all that old common law that is lurking out there.
the first state in the country to criminalize a man for sexually assaulting his own wife was south dakota. they only did so in 1975. it wasn't until 1993 that every state had criminalized it. and even as late as 1999, 33 of 50 states regarded spousal rape as a lesser crime.Originally posted by: Kilgor

the problem with just about all rape is proving it.
one commentator tried to point out that, if someone were to steal your wallet by having you lay down and them taking the wallet from your back pocket, no one would start to question your mental state and everyone would say it was still theft.
another countered with the fact that people don't lay down and let other people take their wallets every day.
very few rapes are the violent kind that tv dramatizes.

Part of the article mentions how someone went out to find a wife because, "There is a shortage of women in the area, because of the practice of female foeticide." So he wound up buying a woman from a poor family. Damn brilliant people.
"Yes, lets kill the female infant, she is of little value in our society."
"Won't that screw over the next generation when they are looking for wives? Will she not be valuable then?"
"Um......just shut up and get back to work."
Let's see how well they actually enforce this law.
