Atheists only vote please: Do absolute MORAL truths exist? Is Rape ALWAYS "wrong"?

[emilynghiem]

How about this scenario? Where I still argue the rape is rape and wrong, even if the person forgives it and decides the outcome outweighs that wrong:

What if a man, say a soldier is going off to serve the next day, and that night he has an absolute conviction
he is going to die, and he knows his wife wanted to have a baby with him even if and especially if he was going to die.

So he wakes her up and explains he is sure he will die and wants to go ahead and have sex and get pregnant.
but she doesn't want to have sex and thinks he will come back later and they can do this.
right now she is finishing up school and wants to wait to get pregnant.

He insists he knows this is their only chance now or never.
no time to go freeze sperm and wait. and he is ready now and doesnt think to just inseminate her
without the sex (or which she refuses also, insisting they will have a better opportunity later not now)
but goes ahead and penetrates her though she tells him to stop

so he does commit marital rape, when he could have just inseminated her without the sex
to get her pregnant but was panicked didn't think and just did it

so technically it is rape

but it turns out, he does die overseas, and was right that was their only chance

she gets pregnant and has the baby and is happy and knows she loves the baby and is glad for that

but the act of sex was still rape and was still wrong,
and could have been done by insemination but the wife refused
and the husband insisted and did what he felt was the lesser compromise

I'd say that the act of rape is still wrong
but it turns out the wife forgives it because the outcome made up for it afterwards

it is still rape and still wrong because not both partners consented
