To have the court system then effectively dismiss it out of hand is horrifying.
To have the court system then effectively dismiss it out of hand is normal, love. Which is why I never bothered reporting my ex. What's the point in going through all that just to get him a slap on the wrists?
A reminder: it was only 1974 when it became illegal for a man to rape his wife, and it was after that when the "rule of thumb" was withdrawn by case law.
