They believe that marriage equals continual consent of the spouses for sex. (hopefully, that made sense) Do you believe that someone can be raped by their spouse?Yes, forcible sex on a spouse is IMO rape. Historically, that is a relatively recent position. However, I do note differences between married and unmarried people. For example, IMO a woman can't give consent if she's drunk. So, for unmarried people, sex with a drunk woman is rape. However, I think that standard should be different for married people. IMO, if you're married, consent should be presumed unless specifically retracted.
What do you think? Should a married man refrain from sex if his wife is drunk, even if she's asking for sex? Technically, she can't consent.
