Sorry, I am not eligible to answer ur straight question, because of gender difference. But I will answer ur question in a different perspective. In our country, proving a rape (non marital) is very difficult even if the criminal is arrested and put behind bars. Though amendments take place now and then in law, it is probably a neglected area, mostly because in most cases kith and kin of the politicians are involved in such cases. Hence they need some loop holes for protection. Hence proving marital rape is next to impossible. Forget about it. May god save such people.

Yes I have, with my first husband. If he was in the mood but I was not, he would beg and bug me for hours, even all night, until I gave in.
I was ignorant then. I thought that since he didn't use physical force, then it couldn't really be rape. Never mind that I had kids to care for in the morning and he never helped but slept in while I was sleep-deprived.
I said no and he wouldn't accept it, not even three days after I gave birth to my first child. I know now that it was rape and I should have reported it when it happened.
His second wife told me that the rape grew physically force-full towards her. She was too scared of him to call the authorities. I can only imagine the hell his third wife is going through.
There are some fundamentalist religions that do not believe in marital rape because their belief is that the wife belongs to the husband so he's ENTITLED to take her body at will. These religions are destructive and wrong. Although I firmly believe in freedom of religions, I am just as firmly against it when they are harmful, sexist, or dehumanizing.

Yes, before that term was recognized. When I was first married, in 1963, the idea was that a man had a legal right to the sexual services of his wife, and therefore there was legally no such thing as marital rape. A man had a right to force his wife.
I left that husband, and never was subjected to force again through three more marriages. Men got the message pretty quickly, I think, once the law was changed.
I fear, however, that this corresponds to the period when they stopped wanting to get married, many of them. After all, if it does not provide a legal supply of their "drug," so to speak, what good is it?

Rape within a marriage is not only possible but happens routinely.
It is a problem,that is often swept under the carpet. You should consider trying for an assault charge. It is easier to prove and prosecute. The end results would hopefuly be the same. Imprisonment.

No, not personally, but I know a very brave and amazing woman who has and who helped shape legislation on the matter. Unfortunately its not considered rape in several states. However it is prosecutable in lots of states. and you can, like she did send her husband to jail for many many years!

Separation of religion and state, read 1 Corinthians, says different.

Yup. I didn't even know such a thing existed until a police officer told me so.
