A 40-year-old woman has been charged with marital rape in the first indictment of its kind in South Korea.
The woman, identified only as Shim, locked her partner, surnamed Kim, in their family house for 29 hours and forced him to have sex with her. Shim is believed to have been sexually abusing her husband in order to obtain exculpatory evidence for divorce procedures.

She has become the first woman in the country to be charged with spousal rape. Earlier this year, another woman was charged with attempted rape for drugging her ex-boyfriend, tying him up and hitting with a hammer. However, she claimed she did not want to rape him.
Once widely condoned or ignored by law and society, marital rape is now opposed by many societies around the world, repudiated by international conventions, and increasingly criminalized. Still, in many countries, marital rape either remains outside the law, or is illegal but widely tolerated, with the laws against it being rarely enforced.
