Marital rape analyzed

The bride faces her man in the first night,

Not without fears, beside her bridal flush.

She carries throughout her marital life

That fear for her husband's mood and commands.

To have sex without ownerships is rape.

To have sex without one's consent is rape

To have sex with wife against her wish is rape.

Yet marital rape goes unnoticed.

She has to offer herself when he wants.

Her body is his that he can handle

As he wishes that includes the forceful

Fetishes on her without impunity.

 She is a mute sufferer in the bed.

She cannot report it to anyone.

She is not expected to reveal it.

It is time she had her space and her time.

It is time man liberated his wife

From marital rape and sexual assaults

Lest there should be a necessity

To enact  a law on marital rape.
