2. MARITAL RAPE
• Marital rape is any unwanted sexual acts by
a spouse or ex-spouse, committed without
consent and/or against a person's will, obtained
by force, or threat of force, intimidation, or when
a person is unable to consent.

3. TYPES OF MARITAL RAPE
• 1. Battering rape:
▫ In battering rape, women experience both physical and
sexual violence in the relationship and they experience
this violence in various ways.
• 2. Force-only rape:
▫ In what is called force-only rape, husbands use only the
amount of force necessary to coerce their wives
• 3. Obsessive rape:
▫ Other women experience what has been labeled as
sadistic or obsessive rape

4. KEY FACTS ABOUT MARITAL RAPE LAW
AND THE REALITIES OF MARITAL RAPE.
• Until 1976, rape laws in all 50 states contained a Marital
Rape Exemption specifically to prevent husbands
who raped their wives from being charged with a
crime BEFORE.
• As of 1996, only 17 states and the District of Columbia had
abolished this exemption completely.
• While all 50 U.S. states have laws against marital rape, 33
of the states consider marital rape a lesser crime
than other types of rape–typically they charge the
attacker with spousal abuse or battery instead of
rape.

5. • Studies show that marital rape is the most
common type of rape. Ten to 14 percent of all
completed rapes are committed by husbands
or ex-husbands, and in keeping with rape
reporting statistics nationwide, experts believe
this is an underestimation of the actual
incidence of marital rape.
• It wasn’t until 1993 that marital rape nationally
became a crime in the United States.
