Of course it is, if your wife refuses sex it is most probably for a damm good reason and should be respected. Rape is not LEGAL anywhere it is a violation and should be reported immediately. I

A man that rapes his wife is no better than a stranger who rapes an innocent victim!
Q. What Legal Rights do Married Women Have Regarding Wife Rape?
A. Today it is a crime in all 50 states (and federal lands) for a husband to rape his wife. It is difficult to believe that just 20 years ago (in 1976) no husband could be charged with raping his wife, due to a section in the rape laws called the Marital Rape Exemption. This exemption (which was thought to be common law in some states but the result of legislation in others) actually exempted men from prosecution for rape in cases where the woman he raped was his wife!
The Marital Rape Exemption has not yet been completely removed. According to the National Clearinghouse on Marital and Date Rape (see Resource List), as of March 1996, only 17 states and the District of Columbia have completely abolished the marital rape exemption. The marital privileges are extended to unmarried cohabitants in 5 states, and to dates in 1 state (Delaware)
It is important to remember that under at least one section of the sexual offense codes (usually those code sections regarding force), marital rape is a crime in all 50 states. Each state has its own sexual offense codes. See the Resource List to order a copy of marital rape laws by state.
Women may also sue their husbands in civil court for pain and suffering and medical and other costs incurred as a result of sexual battery. Please see the section on marital rape in the Lehrman book, listed below in the section Resources for Legal Information about Wife Rape

Depends on where you live. I don't know the law in all the countries out there. In some countries, it may be not illegal. But really, is this the only thing that can hold you back from raping someone? It is highly immoral and it will not bring you any happiness. If it is not illegal in your country your wife might just accidentally drop a rat poison in your food one day.

No, the definition of rape may change slightly from state to state but raping your wife is never legal.

No. Not because a person is bound to another legally means that person has the right to violate the other's body to suit thier own wants or desires. Respect is due especially in marraige.

A husband forcing sex on his wife is considered rape by the most if not all states. The criminal and civil laws now include spousal rape (vaginal intercourse), and acts of sexual violence, such as forced anal intercourse which were traditionally barred under sodomy laws.

A rape is a CRIMINAL OFFENCE, no matter if committed against your wife.
Being married does NOT mean that a man is entitled to have sex whenever he wants AGAINST her wife will.
And by the way: if a woman says NO that means exactly NO!!!

No, and if you get put in jail for it, you might just get a taste of your own medicine. You marry someone, you don't own them. Rape is not about sex, it is about control.

without a doubt, its just bringing yourself to report it because you love them you think that it cant be rape. I know what i mean does anyone else??? you automatically forgive who you love because you dont think that they would hurt you in that kind of way. Its stupid but its true.
