If a man was raped by a woman and she had a child, would she retain custody?

Question

If a woman was raped by a man and had the child from the rape, nobody would even consider letting the rapist have the child. Does this still hold true here? Let's assume the man wants the kid.

Remember, in this case the man is the one raped, not the woman. I already know the answer to the other scenario.

Answer 1

If the woman is incarcerated, I highly doubt she'd be deemed fit and the child would most likely go into foster care unless the father wanted the child.

Rape is such a violation, so I can't imagine the man wanting the child - not so much the child per se, but the memory that goes along with it.

Answer 2

How about a true-life situation?
In 2003 a 27 year-old woman named Lisa Zuniga was found guilty of statuatory rape of a 13 year old boy (another school situation). No matter if one thinks raping males is impossible (is isn't, by the way), this is every bit as much rape as a a 27 year old man having sex with a 13 year old girl.
She was pregnant with this child's child when she was sentenced to 30 DAYS in jail, a $500 fine and 10 years probation, which according to Texas law under the circumstances means she will not have a record if she stays out of trouble.(deferred adjudication) and she had to register as a sex offender and was ordered by the judge to avoid contact with minors (then gave her unsupervised custody of the now three-year old girl) WTF???
She has custody if the child of this rape and had to grant visitation to the father (which she has refused to allow without supervision) and the father, now 18 has to pay child support to his rapist. Should he refuse to pay, he stands a good chance of being imprisoned, ultimately for the result of a crime committed against him. The father is seeking custody but so far the court has denied anything other than "visitation".

Simply amazing.

Had the sexes been reversed, the whole scenario would have played out quite differently. The rapist would have been sentenced to a minimum of 20 years to life in prison, forced to register as a sex offender for life and upon release from prison denied "visitation" and forced to pay a hefty child support and possible restitution to the victim.

This is what feminsts call "equality".

Answer 3

Most likely they would give custody to the mother. The Courts in the USA seem to think that the father is not as capable of raising a child as a woman is for some odd reason.

Answer 4

questions like these are based on the laws of your land. but i think based on the fact that it was a rape then the mother should have custody over the child.

Answer 5

Its all about how good your lawyer is. Abusive men are allowed unsupervised visitation all the time, even though they have beaten the living crap out of the mother, and nearly caused her death. (i am talking about real abuse here not made up stuff.) Its always astounded me that anyone would think a man like this wouldnt do the same thing to his kids as hes done to his wife. But then money talks and sh*t walks.

Answer 6

The woman would have custody, because we live in The Feminist Republic of America.

Answer 7

who would admit being raped by a woman?

Answer 8

Forcible rape of a man isnt possible. I do know of a case in which an adult female had consensual sex with a juvenile male and became pregnant. They charged her with statutory rape and she went to jail. The victim's mother got custody of the child when it was born.

Answer 9

In a non-marriage, kids belong to the mother.

Answer 10

Well he would likely have custody, considering she's probably in jail. And she's a sex offender.
