Bahamas trying to outlaw marital rape

Some of these comments from the opposition are disgusting.

"How is it possible to rape what is yours?"

"She already said 'I do,' so from then on, even if forces sex on his wife, it isn't rape."

"The Bible tells me that a man's body is his wife's and her body is his. How could he rape her?"

3. That we do

A woman is not property, and husbands who think otherwise are living in a dream world.
