Marital rape, also known as spousal rape, is non-consensual sex in which the perpetrator is the victim’s spouse. It is a form of partner rape, of domestic violence, and of sexual abuse. Marital rape is today illegal in all 50 US states.
The legal history of marital rape laws in the United States is a long and complex one, that spans over several decades. The criminalization of marital rape in the United States started in the mid-1970s and by 1993 marital rape became a crime in all 50 states, under at least one section of the sexual offense codes. At that time, most states differentiated between the way marital rape and non-marital rape were treated. The laws have continued to change and evolve since 1993, but in some states, there still remain differences.

Yeah. It’s the law of the land. So was slavery. So was prohibition.
You don’t understand that the US government has lost all credibility regarding laws. They are no longer to be taken seriously, unless they have you in their sites. My own sensibilities keep me out of trouble - e.g. marrying a woman who actually wants to make me happy and has the same sexual appetite I do. And she married a man who wants to make her happy. It works out really well and we don’t need laws.
The less virtuous a people, the greater their need for laws. We don’t worry about laws much around these parts, for that reason and the fact that we are all pretty well armed.

The enemy of progressives is old people that actually remember what it used to be like. Way back in high school, every time I heard someone complaining about this or that proposed law and saying “people will never stand for that!” I would counter, “What you mean is that THIS GENERATION will never stand for that.”
I may not have been right about a lot of things, but I nailed that one.
