  • @sayyid - No, he can't "force" her physically. He can just starve her. That's completely different, right?

    No, I don't misunderstand at all. It should be completely up to her whether or not she wants to engage in sexual activity at any point in time. It is her body.

    This law is sick.

  • Nowhere does it say in Islamic law that he is allowed to engage in "marital rape".

  • And Ayatullah Seestani says further,

    "2422. * If the wife does not fulfill her matrimonial duties towards her husband, she will not be entitled for the food, clothes or housing, even if she continues to live with him."

  • How is this "marital rape"? There is no such thing in Islamic law and this misleading term is used to win support against the law.

    The people who oppose the Islamic ruling are unaware about the details of surrounding it. Nothing in the Islamic law allows a husband to force his wife to have sex with him. Here is Ayatullah Seestanis ruling,

    she should submit herself to his sexual desires, and should not prevent him from having sexual intercourse with her, without justifiable excuse.
