Marital rape is also a form of rape where the victim is the spouse. This can also be categorized into domestic violence. A girl is pushed into sex even if she is not interested just because she is married. If a man marries a girl, sex is decided as the only criteria to trust a girl’s loyalty.

When a girl gets married they push her into a room. The room decorated with flowers and white bed spread. The whit bed spread is just to check if the girl is a virgin. The people in the house would enter into the room just to check if there is a blood spot on their bed. Every girl enters that room with fear. Well or not, she decides to have sex that night. If her hymen got ruptured due to other activities, she is going to be considered as a pervert. With all those fears in her mind, she sleeps that night.

Most of the women are not spared from this even when they are ill. She goes for work all day long. She does all work at home. At the end of a tiring day all she wants are a few warm words which would make her feel better and give her a good night’s sleep. Instead, she is forced to have sex. Though not all men are the same, but few do exist who don’t give enough space to their partner.

They are not left to have a good sleep even when they have periods. When a girl suffers from cramps in her stomach, good rest is what she must be given. Marital rape is to that extend that they are not left free even on those days. They are ready to adjust even when their partner has periods.

If both are married with so many ceremonies it doesn’t mean that a girl must accept for whatever is being said. It doesn’t mean that the person has full rights on her. On the ceremony day they promise to stay together during their good and bad times, in sickness and in health and would understand each other at every situation. Having sex with the wife is just a part of life. They must have sex only when both the partners consent for it. If it is done by forcing it is immoral and it is also called as rape.
