as far as i am aware any intercourse between a man and his wife cannot be termed rape in the shariah. in the shariah rape is punished as a form of zina, therefore if the perpetrator is unmarried he would receive 100 lashes and if he was married then he would be stoned to death. we know that a man can never receive such punishments for intercourse with his wife [or slave-girl].
came across this thread on twitter recently and wanted to know if it is Islamically sound? what are your thoughts? MARITAL RAPE?It is imperative we look at the definition of the term “rape” in Sharīáh and see whether this can be applied in the context of a marriage.When we look to the books of Fiqh, we see that “rape” is defined as “istikrāh álā al-zinā”, i.e. zinā by coercion. https://t.co/ivE7L3rB9Z— ابنِ خان (@IbneKhan01) August 11, 2020
