| dc.description.abstract | Rape AND defilement violates the right of dignity of a girls and boys. It breaches the trust or wife. Even then, it is not criminalized as rape in Uganda. It raises a question, is a girls and boys being considered an object or the property of the husband. It also raises the question, as to does a girls and boys has right to save her body from the Just of her husband. No doubt the purpose of the being single is to provide right to have sex with' one u get married too. This paper points out whether this right can be coupled with force or right to have sex is only coupled with will or consent of wife. The purpose of the marriage in point of view of right to have the law should only be providing satisfaction of concern need without any check or burden of society and law. This reveals that the failure of victims of rape and defilement (mainly women and girl children) to satisfy the requirements of the purported 'rule' (or practice or modus operandi) on corroboration is a significant common reason why so many sexual assailants (mainly men) escape legal punishment. Tracing the origins and history of the purported 'rule', it distinguishes it from the law which it apparently subverts throughout the entire investigative, prosecution, trial and appeal stages or these crimes. | en_US |
