A social issue arises when the controversial topic of whether or not martial rape should be treated the same as non-marital rape. According to the poll on Isidewith.com 81% of people in the entire United States voted that yes, martial rape should be dealt with the same way as non-marital rape. However, there was still the opposing side with only a 19% vote. The people who disagreed that martial rape should be taken as serious as non-martial rape felt that if you are married, rape can not occur. People who agreed with that statement see that rape can occur in a marriage because rape is when someone if forced to have sexual interaction when you don’t want to. Being married does not changed the rights of a human because they have made a “promise” to stay together until death. It is easy to say that martial-rape is not really the same thing as non-martial rape because the question of why would someone you are married to do that to you is asked but in many household the act of machismo happens. Machismo comes from the word ‘macho’ meaning male in Spanish. The word machismo is an exaggerated sense of manliness or when a man feel that they have the power to control of anything or anyone. Commonly happening with the wife in Hispanic households. Many people don’t report it because they know it is not dealt with the same way as non-marital marriage.
