Spousal rape is a sexual offense where a person has sexual intercourse with his/her spouse with a lack of consent. Penal Code 262 provides that rape in marriage occurs when a person accomplishes intercourse against a spouse’s will, because either: abusers use force, violence, duress, sexual abuse, or fear of bodily injury, the victim is unable to resist because of drugs, alcohol, or medication, the victim is unconscious of what is going on (for example, he/she is asleep or was defrauded), the abuser threatened to kidnap, injure, or kill the victim, or anyone else, if the victim did not have sex, and the abuser persuaded the spouse to believe that he/she was a public official and would imprison, arrest, or deport the spouse if no sexual relations took place.
