is there a christian definition of rape in a marriage? i don't believe there is. i do believe that wives are supposed to be submissive to their husbands, which means there would be no rape in a christian marriage either.
legally is something completely different.
No, the Koran permits forced sex in marriage, even Sunni Man has acknowledge this with quotes from the Koran. Show me some quotes from the Bible that permit forced sex in marriage.
Col 3:18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
You want to quote this verse? What about the verse that comes next.
Col 3: 19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Does that sound like Paul is saying to rape them?
"If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her." (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)
Then this always starts the debate as to whether or not christians are supposed to take the old testament seriously.
Actually this says nothing about raping a wife. It makes a rapist obligated to his victim for life since he is never able to end the marriage. It seems cruel that the woman must put up with her rapist, but by ancient standards it is significantly pro-victim in that the rapist is made to support his victim and whatever child the rape may have produced.
