Before getting overly self-righteous about this issue, it might be appropriate to remember that in the USA until quite recently many states did not allow for prosecution of rape charges against a spouse. In fact the last state to remove this exemption was NC, in 1993.
Under common law and indeed just about all western law codes it was not possible for a man to rape his wife, based on the belief that marriage constituted by definition an agreement to engage in sexual relations. Changes in this regard have been quite recent, almost entirely since the 50s.
Are you serious?
According to Huma’s mother, she is personally OK with marital rape not just on principle but must, by extension, be OK with it in the case of her daughter... to a Jewish husband.
As a leader in the Muslim Sisterhood, Saleha has allowed her daughter to marry a Jew for the purpose of a higher calling. Her own stances necessitate that she must also be ok with that Jewish husband raping her daughter, if he were to choose to do so.
What does that have to do with your point?
