Singapore to Criminalize Marital Rape from Jan 1, 2020

How can husbands protect themselves from false rape charges? Ask his wife to sign a consent form every time he wants sex?

RIP to the men who marry in Singapore that do not have a prenuptial agreement.
I can foresee this law being abused to extract as much resources and used as a manipulation weapon against men.

Do people seriously think the standard of evidence for rape is just "oh the woman said it was rape while crying so that must be it".

Holy shit the statements in this thread are ridiculous. What reality do you people live in?

The basis of law is presumption of innocence until proven guilty. People get off on rape charges even when there is physical evidence present, and people in here think a woman's word is enough for conviction, LOL.

False rape allegations are serious and can destroy men and women's lives even without any evidence. Not from the courts but the public court of opinion.

And criminalising marital rape will change this how?

You think only after that can people falsely accuse others of rape or abuse?

Grow a braincell or two mate.

Agreed in an ideal world, everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
When you read the news of loud modern feminist going into position of power that make bias decisions around the world. It becomes super scary.
Whether it is criminalized or not false rape accusations will still be there.
With Singapore criminalizing it, it incentives women to make false rape allegation to get what they want. Whether be monetary gain, ego or playing victim mentality.

An extreme example:


So who's gonna give back his precious almost 3 decades for serving behind bars being falsely accused of rape?

Edit:
On a brighter side of things.

The law says it's legal for married couples to have sex. But it does not mean that you can rape your wife because raping is a criminal offense. So consent is part of the jurisprudence.
A contract will automatically void if one of the terms is breaking the law. You cannot put in the contract like "you can force yourself on your wife even without her consent"

Consent in body language? Or words? Or written? Or in video? Which one holds up if a case is brought to court?
