No/Yes.

I believe it would be extremely hard to prove this sort of case.  In fact I'm amazed one can legitimately convict in most rape cases.  Certainly within marriage is seems like one where it would be difficult for the State to determine what happened.  I prefer a very high standard of proof for prosecutions.. can't say I know that much about the law.

Wouldn't that be Yes/No?

No, I meant No/Yes.  Objective morality does not exist, so I would never say anything is 'immoral'.  However I would defnitely prefer this type of rape to be illegal.  I was just commenting that it would be hard to prove, and in general I prefer a very high standard of proof for criminal convictions.

One could also be falsely accused of robbery, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't go on a crusade against robbery.

Actually I would hope we would err on the side of presumption of innocence in both robbery and rape.
