About Rape
Rape is defined legally in most states as forcible sexual relations with a person against that person's will. The definition has evolved over the years as women's equality has advanced. For example, older notions of marriage defined a wife as being essentially the property of her husband, and so rape between husband and wife was not considered a crime (see also: Crime Terminology). With the advent of the feminist movement, women's rights were recognized, rape education was heightened and women began to see that there was no excuse for rape and no situation where they should be subjected to the crime.
