For centuries, women who suffered sexual assault perpetrated by their spouses had no legal recourse. A man's conjugal rights included his right to have sexual intercourse with his wife regardless of whether she consented. This right has been recognised in law, and still is in some jurisdictions today. This book emerges from the research undertaken by an innovative, multi-country, academic, collaborative project dedicated to comparatively analysing the legal treatment of sexual assault in intimate relationships, with a view to challenging the legal impunity for and inadequate legal responses to this form of gendered violence. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 00 $a Machine generated contents note: $g 9. $t The Judicial Treatment of Marital Rape in Canada: A Post-Criminalisation Case Study / $g 1. $t Introduction: Marital Rape and Law Reform: A Comparative Analysis of the Right to Say No / $r Jennifer Koshan. $g 2. $t Marital Rape and Sexual Violence against Women in Intimate Relationships: The Less Recognised Form of Domestic Violence / $r Melanie Randall -- $g 3. $t Normative and International Human Rights Law Imperatives for Criminalising Intimate Partner Sexual Violence: The Marital Rape Impunity in Comparative and Historical Perspective / $r Melanie Randall -- $g 4. $t Pluralistic Legal Systems and Marital Rape: Cross-National Considerations / $r Vasanthi Venkatesh -- $g pt.
