Marital Rape

Consent, Marriage, and Social Change in Global Context

Herausgeber: Yllö, Kersti; Torres, M Gabriela

Beschreibung

Marital Rape is the first book to examine rape in marriage as a global problem affecting millions of women. While legal and cultural conceptions of marital rape vary widely -- from criminal assault to wifely duty -- the authors document that forced sex undermines the physical and psychological well-being of women in all cultures.
