Abolish the concept of marital duty to have sex
Abolish the concept of marital duty to have sex. Bring consequences for sexual coercion and abuse within marriage and enshrine it within UK law.
So many women in marriage have sex not because they want to, but out of an obligation and a duty within marriage. This leads to things like sexual coercion, rape and women don’t have a voice. Marriage should not mean sex is expected. Consent is always required. Protect women in marriage. A woman’s body does not belong to her husband and no should always mean no. France has done this, we should too.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There is already no legal requirement or obligation to have sex during marriage.
