She cannot abstain; he won't let her.If she cannot choose to abstain, the sex is not consensual. Why are you in such a hurry to put a condom in a rapists hand?

Dear Petronski,
There are places in the world where a man who coerces his wife to have sex is not considered a rapist. Though we agree that it is little more than that, it doesn't help women in these societies.
Yes, there are places in the world where a wife cannot deny her husband's demands for sex, and if he forces her, either physically, or by denying her or her children the things necessary for subsistence, no one in authority will take her side. And should she successfully use physical force against him, she will be required to accept the consequences meted out to her by the society in which she lives.
