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.

In most cases bringing a charge of rape is enough to destroy a man. It does not matter if he can defend himself successfully. His career, income, reputation and funds are destroyed in a false rape charge. But even if the accusation is proven to be false the law does not go after the false accuser. The person falsely accused is expected to get remedy by taking civil action but most will be so gutted financially and emotionally that they won't do it. Besides, if the women has nothing you get nothing from a civil action.

To be fair if there is a marital rape law the penalty for false accusation should be as severe as the penalty for a successful rape conviction. But you can bet your bottom dollar that the law will do nothing to mete out justice to a false rape accuser because she is a woman who can wear a short skirt and cry in court.

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.

If force is used to procure sex women are protected by domestic violence law. Why do they need a rape law which incentivise spiteful women to make false rape accusations?

In a normal rape case one can gather proof like DNA on private parts and the presence of the man at the specific place and time where the rape allegedly occurred. There may also be witnesses. Tell me what sort of proof can be accepted in a marital rape case? DNA on her private part when sex with his wife is not a crime? That he happened to be in the same bedroom with her is incriminating? Were there any witnesses when he was having sex with his wife? There is no proof of marital rape except her word against his. When it comes before a court the man is disadvantaged because he can't wear a skirt and he can't elicit sympathy by crying in court. This is why a marital rape law is useless except for women to use as a weapon against a husband she wants to destroy.

There is no such thing as rape in marriage. There is consensual sex and forced sex. Sex is a right between married couples. Being able to bring a charge of rape against a spouse means sex is no longer a right, it becomes a privilege.  With this law a married couple is no longer husband and wife, they are house mates.

In a marriage a couple vows to have sex EXCLUSIVELY with each other. What is the meaning of this vow if she can legally deny him sex after marriage? If he has no right to have sex with his wife do you agree that he should have the right to get sex outside? Are you for open marriages?
