When did it become illegal in the U.K for a husband to rape his own wife?

The beginning of the 21st Century has seen a major overhaul of the sexual offences legislation in England and Wales. Prior to this reform the law on sexual offences was based on legislation implemented in 1956, with some parts dating as far back as the
19th Century. It goes without saying that this legislation was grossly dated and unsuitable for the 21st Century. A number of important amendments had been made since the 1956 legislation, including the inclusion of marital rape in 1994.

Only fairly recently, I believe. There are still many archaic laws in the UK. It would be interesting to see how many countries still consider it a legal act for a man to rape his wife. Even more interesting - how many husbands who rape their wives in countries where it is illegal ever get charged?

It was about 10 years ago.
You're right; it used to be legal for a man to rape his wife and there was nothing she could do about it. I don't think people really understood the question.
DelB has given you the right answer, he seems to know what he's talking about! I can't believe nobody else knew about this.

Rape is illegal whether it's your wife or not. Either way the bastards should be tortured. Then beaten to death.

Even if you're married, it's rape if she doesn't want to have sex and she's forced to have it against her will...I don't think its ever been otherwise....

I don't think it's ever been illegal for him NOT to.
