Zusatztext Even though rape within marriage is widespread, research on this phenomenon has been greatly neglected. Marital Rape makes a very important contribution by providing a sophisticated analysis of this form of sexual assault. Taking a comparative perspective, the authors argue that marital rape should be understood in the context of culturally specific ideas about kinship and marriage. The book joins perspectives from anthropology, sociology, human rights, public health, and law to develop an insightful analysis that seeks to reconcile respect for cultural difference with women's entitlement to a good life and human rights."
