Within the context of the thread theme - marital rape. That's what I've been getting at. Apologies if you thought otherwise, I maybe should have made that clearer.
Can you think of any examples of what I've been asking now you understand the context?

In another thread Robert made the point based on 'Christian principles' the concept of marital rape is erroneous. There can be no rape within a Christian marriage as consent was given on the day the couple married. Is this a view shared by other Christians here on this forum? Is this mainstream Christian ideology or a stream from the lunatic fringe as I suspect?
The Bible at 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 states that:[267]
"The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.".
The above is interpreted by some religious figures as to render marital rape an impossibility.[268][269] However, not all religious figures hold this view.[270]
