I'm gonna repeat something I once heard some old-timers say long ago. (those old timers were my grandparents)

In the bible it says it is a sin for a woman to refuse to have sex with her husband, therefore is it impossible for a husband to rape his wife. In otherwords, A wife does not have the right to say no in the first place so there is no such thing as rape between a husband and wife.

Any comments?

This would contradict common accepted Christian doctrine. Even if saying no is a sin, she still has the free will to say no. As such, rape can occur if the wife says no; she would just be committing a sin when refusing.

Did your grandparents specify where in the Bible that clause is written?
