What is your social issue?
My social issue is whether martial rape should have the same severe consequences as non-marital rape.
Why is it such a social issue? What do people disagree about in relation to this topic?
Marital rape is a very intense social issue because many people feel that since you are married, rape is not a something that can occur. This is why it is believed that martial rape should not have the bar set as high for consequences as non-martial rape. I strongly disagree with the belief of martial rape not having high punishments.
What is your proposed solution? Why do you think this is the best solution?
My proposed solution to this would be to listen and act to all women and men who report being raped, abused or being sexually assaulted in any shape or form. Programs and classes should be offered to help people become more knowledgeable on what rape is or show people how to talk about it. The people who are convicted of sexually assaulting someone should be put into special programs to help them understand what they did was a violation and was wrong of them.
What are pros to your solution?
The pros to this solution are that there should not be types of rape, women and men who are sexually assaulted are scared to talk because no one will listen, crime rates are going down but rape in doing the opposite, not being about to identifying rape and rape being fatal.
What are cons to your solution?
The cons to this solution is that marriage changes everything, why would you report someone who you “love” or are married to and cases should be dropped because of lack of evidence.
