Wife rape is often accompanied by or followed by other dangerous types of violent or emotional abuse, and a man who forces his wife or date to have sexual relations is a particularly dangerous type of abuser.

Marital rape, battered women, child and spousal support, custody
Often — but not always — marital rape or partner rape is a form of spousal abuse suffered by the woman in the relationship. If you are a victim of emotional or physical abuse in addition to sexual assault, it is critically important that you stop the cycle and remove yourself and, if applicable, your children from the situation. Our lawyers will explain how your situation will affect your husband or boyfriend's obligation for support and his right to child custody and visitation.
