Is marital rape an abuse or a right?

Some men are in the habit of forcing themselves
on their wives, believing that they have a right
to sex at anytime, whether the wives like it or
not. Is this right or wrong?
Rape » is the act of having unlawful carnal
knowledge of a woman or girl without her
consent or with her consent but obtained by
using force, threat or intimidation.
This kind of rape also happens among married
people. Victims of such acts have been reported
to live with stress, fear, anxiety, and guilt for
‘provoking’ the abuse and are frequently
subjected to intense criticism.
For most Nigerian men, sex with their wives is
their rights and the woman should not give any
excuse whenever her husband is in the mood,
no mater how tired or weak she is.
Some of these men feel that since they are the
ones who married the women, then sex is one
of the main reasons they got married in the
first place.
Sadly, some cultures give credence to the fact
that a woman has no right over her body and
should never say 'no' to her husband. This has
led to many men sexually abusing their wives
and they do not see this as an offence because
they are lords of the homes.
The society we live in also does not seem to
believe that a man can actually rape his wife
nor see anything bad in marital rape.
Some women too cannot even complain that
they were raped by their husbands as no one
would take them serious.
