Marital Rape

1-800-733-7902

Spousal rape, also referred to as "marital rape," is defined as any type of non-consentual sexual act that occurs between two married persons. This means that one party used force, coercion, threats or intimidation in order to have sexual relations with their spouse. Spousal rape also means that the sexual acts ensued against their will and without their consent. Demanding sexual relations with your spouse by way of force is considered to be illegal, because they have the right to say no, just like anyone else.
