When people find excuses like marriage to be able to go against human rights it makes me wonder is marriage really instituted to control us? Because when they don't consider rape within marriage the same as rape outside it, then what else can we start excusing? Abusing one's wife was normal too. By agreeing to marry, women agreed to abuse (and still happens a lot nowadays and in many cases worldwide it's forced, not an agreement, but I won't go there). So there are people who insist corporal punishment is okay in marriage and nobody has a right to question them because they "agreed" simply by getting married. And the thing about murder is also regarded differently too. In places where femicide is going rampant, it's more often than not that the murderers were the husbands and what do they say? "It was a crime of passion, he was jealous. He loved her so much he didn't want her to leave him so he killed her.". These are common themes. People need to understand that consenting to one thing doesn't mean you will keep consenting to everything that a person wants to do to you and trusting them and being taken advantage of is even worse than when the crime is done by a complete stranger.
