ORIGINAL: daddysprop247 of course i understand the difference, but as i said i still have the somewhat old-fashioned/sexist view that a man can use his own wife as he pleases. so while yes, she may have been harmed, physically and emotionally, and yes he might just be a cruel b**tard, this is still a husband and wife we're talking about here and i personally don't view it as a crime. I'm iffy on the issue and kind of want to agree with you. But at the same time, I can't. Every relationship is different and in ones where the wife agrees to exist in such an old-fashioned marriage, it's all gravy. Evidently she didn't. And regardless, it's still a crime. Under the law, our consent doesn't matter. You can consent, write out contracts all you want - your master is still breaking the law when he beats you. The courts don't care about consent. Right or wrong... kinda iffy in a marriage. I have to say wrong here. But a crime? Yes, it is one.
