Men keep asking for evidence of Marital Rape but what they're really saying is that they don't want to hear it or acknowledge it's dark reality.

Here is a detailed and painful telling of two stories from married life by @UBhattacheryya

You will find here victims who are bewildered by what has happened to them. They can't believe it themselves and neither will their own families.

The social environment that incapacitates their testimony is the same one multiplied here on SM by MRAs.

A 19 year old woman was assaulted and raped repeatedly. When she tried to tell her father in law, he told her;

"there’s no need to keep coming downstairs to us. Just solve this upstairs, behind closed doors.”

For 8 months she would bear her husband's assault and rape many many times.

"the beating would be followed by cups of tea or shared dinners that she thinks were laced with sedatives. What makes her think that I ask. Namrata murmurs that she would wake up in the middle of the afternoon with his weight on top, and him forcing himself on her."

Listen to her voice:

“When he first started raping me, I was never confused about the fact that this was wrong. What I didn’t know was, that there was no law. He doesn’t look at himself that way – that he has raped someone."

"...Woh sochta hai, maine jo kiya apne haq se kiya (he thinks, whatever I did I did because I was entitled to it)…because that’s how the courts, society make him feel."
