It’s as controversial as it can get but the law is clear, sex with someone who is sleeping is rape. This include between married couples, really? Well I mean, Rape is a serious crime and sex is all about consent, but while it’s not unthinkable that a spouse or partner will not give consent, to call it rape within the four walls of marriage makes it as serious as forcing yourself on a total stranger. Surely a man should be able to “do it” while his wife is sleeping, it’s called the privileges of marriage, it is fun, it is spontaneous, and it is interesting…haha, so because the wife was not aware prior to the act or did not give consent ordinarily shouldn’t amount to rape, common! The truth remains that sex is all about consent, and whether it happens between total strangers, friends, colleagues or between married couples which lacks consent, then the police will throw the full weight of the law at you. Is that fair?What do you think? Leave your comment below.
