A RING IS NOT A YES
<p>I once read a story a few years back. It was about a woman who landed in the hospital. It was because her husband forced her to have sex at a time that she wasn’t suppose to. She had complications, she lived though, but the scars of that day remained. The sad part is that is the story of so many couples. </p><p> Marriage is often seen as a space of unrestricted intimacy, but it must not be mistaken for unlimited access to another person’s body. While mutual consent is the foundation of any healthy sexual relationship, it is not sufficient on its own. There must be clear limits grounded in health, dignity, and respect. Without respect, what is marriage after all? </p><p>Consent that is given under pressure, fear, or emotional obligation is not true consent. Likewise, no partner should be expected to engage in sexual activity when they are unwell, uncomfortable, or unwilling. Such actions are not expressions of intimacy but violations of trust. </p><p>Marriage is a partnership, not ownership. Sexual relations within it should reflect mutual care, not entitlement. Therefore, while consent is essential, it must operate within boundaries that protect both individuals. Without such limits, the very purpose of intimacy—to connect, respect, and support one another—is lost. </p><p>Marriage is not a license, and love is not entitlement. Once consent is disregarded, the line is crossed—from intimacy into violation. </p><p><br/></p><p> </p>
