Criminal lawyers talk about sexual assault cases

Women cannot be forced to have sex during marriage. Therefore, if cheating leads to divorce, objectively, the fault party is the cheating party, because the law clearly stipulates that there is a duty of loyalty between husband and wife.

Whether during the marriage relationship or not, the two parties should share the same room voluntarily, and forcing the wife to have sexual relations may also constitute rape. Rape refers to the act of forcing a woman to have sex with her by violence, coercion or other means against her will. Rape is a criminal offence with bad nature, which seriously infringes on women's personal rights and sexual freedom, seriously damages women's physical and mental health, and some even cause the death and disability of women victims. Therefore, rape is mainly to protect women's sexual freedom, and sexual relations should be carried out on the premise of the parties' willingness; If a woman doesn't want to have sex, she should stop in time. According to experience, professional lawyers in Beijing should not have sex with women against their will. Respect the woman's true wishes. When judging whether there is a violation of women's will, we should make a comprehensive analysis according to the time of sexual intercourse, surrounding environment, women's personality, physique and other factors, and we can't take whether women have obvious resistance as the only factor against their will. For some female victims who dare not resist or lose their ability to resist because of fear and other reasons, it should also be considered to be against the true wishes of women. Having sex with some stupid or mentally ill people, whether they "agree" or not, constitutes rape.
