ONE of the main contentions was the 'inadequate' changes to
marital rape laws.
Currently, a husband cannot be charged with raping his wife, even
when she rejects his advances.
The proposed changes will make this possible in cases where the
wife had obtained a protection order against the husband, or a
court injunction restraining him from having sex with her, or if
the couple are living separately or waiting for a divorce to be
finalised.
