Many men force sex on wives, says survey
Permalink   

Two of every five young married Indian women face unwanted sex frequently or occasionally, according to two major studies by the Population Council.
 
The surveys show that "marriage does not necessarily make sex voluntary, pleasurable or safe for young Indian women" and can even be unsafe. The council interviewed nearly 4,000 women across Maharashtra, Gujarat and West Bengal.
 
One of the studies, authored by senior programme official KG Santhya, found that 44 per cent of young married women faced unwanted sex either frequently or occasionally.
 
The studies also suggest that cultural reasons — including the belief that sex is a routine duty — often don’t let Indian women view sex as "forced" even when it is unwanted.The studies found that sex is forced upon large proportions of urban women. "While we may think urban women will be freer of violence, this isn’t so. The real point is that marriage isn’t necessarily safe for young women," said Shireen J Jejeebhoy, senior associate at Population Council’s Southeast Asia office and author of the other survey.

Jejeebhoy and colleague Rajib Acharya focused on 2,306 young married women, between 15 and 24 years, in rural and urban Maharashtra. About 17.2 per cent urban women reported being beaten at least once by their spouses and 15.5 urban women reported forced sex¸ affecting their well-being.
 
The studies also suggest that cultural reasons — including the belief that sex is a routine duty — often don’t let Indian women view sex as "forced" even when it is unwanted.
 
However, women who knew their husbands well at the time of marriage faced lower risks of unwanted sex. Older women too were less vulnerable. A majority of housewives who give in to forced sex do so because they cannot resist.

what about in Laos if we do a survey like this?

Nobody will answer, because many Lao people are very shy to talk about this topic

Yes, Mr. Webmaster is right. However, I would like to point out why such a case happened. 

It could be the case when the couple do not love each other or one side loving. This case the husbands love wives, but the wives do not love back or the wives love another men.
 
In India most of couples got married not by love, but by arrangement of their parents. They just follow their parents advice. They don't have any feeling for each other. This I heard from my Indian friends.

Do you know how their parents select wives for their sons? First they will ask all girls who they think are suitable for their sons to send their photos to them. And then, they will ask their own sons to select based on those photos. After that they can arrange the wedding party.

They think after getting married they would love each other automatically. This case is considered as a good case. In some cases, their daughters just need to follow their parents regardless their feeling. 

I don't know in Laos the case of unwanted sex occurred. I only heard there were some disputes between couples, where the wives complained that their husbands had sex with them too many times per night, they could not sleep because their husbands having sex with them all the time, saying more than 10 times. They wanted to devorce if their husbands did not reduce the thing, let say 3-4 times enough. This could be the case of unwanted sex as well.

It seemed so funny but it was true, though. 

Yes, everything could happen. That's a life.
