THE DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF SEXUAL-RELATED OFFENCES: STATUTORY RAPE v. MARITAL RAPE

Rape is also a type of violence on the basis of sex, against women in general. According to the UN Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women, domestic violence is physical, sexual, and psychological violence in the family (i.e., domestic violence, marital rape, forced to begging by parents). The majority of sexual offences are related to rape, such as human trafficking. Despite the fact that there are many forms of rape, all of them need precise definitions including mens rea, actus reaus and issue of consent because vagueness had led to false punishment.
