A bitter divorce the wife wants the husband to go to jail this could very well be the case

This particular administration it seems will avoid anything controversial as a matter of policy. It is also almost impossible for the media to interview any cabinet member as needed as the Firewall choirmaster stands largely n the way.

If there is no such thing as marital rape in 242 law, what is there for the 242 lawmakers to deal with????

Just asking .....

When a marriage comes to marital rape the marriage is over they can not be living in the same house

When did thinking die in The Bahamas?
Is there a particular date that can be identified?
Or, did it actually ever exist in the past?

All of the utter BS about such legislation encouraging spiteful and/or vindictive wives to wrongfully accuse their husbands of rape is just that, utter BS!

The UK and many other countries have long had excellent statutes criminalising marital rape which afford more than adequate protection in instances where innocent persons may be wrongfully accused of rape.

And the UK legislation that exists on this matter can simply be copied by our attorney-general's office almost word for word in producing a suitable, appropriate, and workable bill for speedy passage by our own legislators.

Our PM and the attorney-general are clearly not supportive of legislation criminalising marital rape. All they ever do is give the subject lip-service whenever it comes up again in public in a big way.

Women in The Bahamas need to make sure that they and they children of age (especially their daughters) all register to vote in the next national general election. And they should only cast their vote for a candidate running in their constituency who has signed and made public their personal proclamation to support the passage of meaningful and enforceable legislation that makes marital rape illegal at the earliest possible time.

This should be a top-priority piece of legislation for all our parliamentarians so as to afford all women in our country a fundamental and basic right of protection from a most heinous crime.

Get off your duff PM and do something meaningful and right for a change. And by the way, why is your wife so silent on this issue and never speaks publicly with any real fire in her belly about it?!

the church has successfully convinced their flock that women are just penis holes.

I know of one case on a family island where the wife refused sex to her husband unless he went with her to church every Sunday. That's sexual blackmail.

Any God-fearing decent woman who sees Satan in her husband's eyes should do as she did. And "No" it's not blackmail !

Let me get this straight : the judge in the recent Tribune front page case was supposed to throw that man in prison purely because his wife said so? Complete and utter lunacy. Whatever happened to the presumption of innocence in the court of law? "He said, she said" is not good enough send anyone to prison for a day much less a possible decades long sentence. The lunatics are trying to take over the asylum.

I with you on that.

That's precisely why we need a marital rape statute along the lines of the one they have in the U.K. which affords due process to both the accused and the accusor. Do you really believe any woman deserves to be raped by her husband? If you do, you're no man, and that's for sure!

Tribanon,

Have you ever actually read the UK statute on marital rape? You do realize that women cannot be charged with it, right? It may sound silly that a little old woman can rape a man but go and ask the men that Cardi B drugged up and date raped whether a man can be raped or not. The UK is an Orwellian shithole where citizens are arrested over tweets and Facebook posts, we should be nothing like them (England was a great place to live at one time, but not anymore).

Quite frankly, such a law is borderline unenforceable. As with 99% of these cases, it boils down to "he said, she said" which means the man is always going to be presumed guilty by default. You are acting as if the Johnny Depp trial did not just happen and that women are sweet little innocent flowers that would never lie on a man to get ahead; hint : they are not. Not every woman will do that kind of thing, but some definitely will. Practicality of a law is much more important than the intent behind it.

You clearly believe a husband is entitled to rape his wife and that by marriage she is nothing more than a possession of his to be used and abused as he sees fit. And that means you could not care less that marital rape is a major problem in our country. You should be living in Jamaica or, better still, Uganda.

Even in our geographic region, most nations, Jamaica aside, have fair and effective laws that protect both husband and wife from marital rape as is the case in just about all of the more civilised societies around the world.

Most of us know that small minded abusive husbands, who must heinously and hurtfully force themselves on their wives, are usually the most outspoken ones against the criminalisation of marital rape.

A blogger here some time back mentioned that to play with marital rape female primal social anthropology must be studied. Female primal instinct is the protection of her unborn child during pregnancy or children. Rooted in female psyche is this security whereby she and her offspring receive protection from harm,food and shelter. To ensure procreation of each species males are strongly driven or bedeviled to seek something out. And when he gets it a mutual exchange or ritual takes place where both parties are satisfied. If this divorce saga becomes followed throughout into settlement then a clearer picture may emerge. There is the rule of the jungle out there still to seek protection, shelter, and the needs of the past middle aged vulnerable seeking a second chance at independence into old age is filled with unknowns along the last mile of the way.

As a married female rule of thumb. Unaware that when children reach the stage of high school graduation women begin to phase husbands out of the bed. So we have divorces going on wholesale as the husband's job is finished. Suddenly he is the worst demon in the world.Then she plots to get the house to happily relive in freedom minus the former husband. The pre adult children at this point in life is most vulnerable to a vicious world after loosing a father's protection. The faithful husband's are then relegated to bar rooms if they are lucky or to shelters.

You're showing off your small mind which may be even smaller than your ........., well, you know what I mean.

Small brained women like trib do not bring their husbands to ejaculation within months which forces him to pay for another woman' mortgage or face marriage rape. Some agreement or understanding must be made upon these girls about men biological issues trib nd other old hags call demon possession. Too many preachers silently sleep in the next bedroom or have church sweethearts to compensate for their wives acting like cock masters making the chained bird sit for months in a locked cage. Women like trib are only sadistic unconcerned about Godly marriage duty which she sees as a sin. Poor soul will see hell.

The mere fact you assume I'm a woman says many more negative things about you than I could ever say.

Within Nationhood we could simply get accurate data to see our marriage sex realities. Married Men respond to painful sperm buildup by eating excessive calories to release pleasure hormones compensation. Alcohol consumption and dependencies is next in marriage bed ice. Clinical depression and failure at work follows. We need data on how many married women scream out 'this ting close' at age 40, 35, 50, 60, 70 and how to get them back on stream that God faulted in allowing healthy men to need, need, need, need need sexual satisfiction till we die, at no fault of our own. And I am sure God did not make a mistake. But we need data on this malfunctioning age old problem in order to make some changes. Counties with the lowest rape count have sexual workers to compensate excessive sperm buildup up due to a breakdown in bed pumping system in married men suffersuffersuffer-ring.

You need a job.

O thought trib was a woman. Only females know I am small. Hope you were not one of them.

We can only hope the men you've played with got treatment for their STDs.
