"Rape, including spousal rape and intimate partner rape, was illegal and punishable by up to 12 years’ imprisonment if convicted, depending on aggravating situations. The government did not enforce the law effectively. Limited investigative resources, poor forensic capabilities, and an ineffective judicial system prevented prosecution of most cases. A 2021 study conducted by the NGO Mosaiko stated 53 percent of women in rural communities and urban peripheries did not report domestic violence to civil authorities, and even sexual abuse of adolescents was often addressed by the village leaders and not reported to police. Only aggravated rape cases with severe injuries and rape of children were reported to police."more

Variables: LRCM-PRACTICE-1
"Despite its prevalence, marital rape is often overlooked or dismissed as a private matter between spouses. This is particularly true in Albania, where social, cultural, and legal factors can make it challenging to identify and prevent marital rape. One of the biggest challenges in identifying marital rape in Albania is the lack of awareness and understanding of the concept. The paper identify the forms of marital rape and women consequences. Many people, including law enforcement officials, still believe that a spouse cannot rape their partner, as they assume that consent is automatically given within marriage. This attitude can lead to underreporting and a lack of action taken against perpetrators, making...more

"However, in societies like Afghanistan, this behavior is not only unpunished but is often seen as a 'man’s right'" (para 2)."In Afghan society, religious beliefs, customs, and unwritten laws impose further suffering on women. For various reasons—such as preserving family honor and the shame associated with this phenomenon—women cannot speak out about this violence and are unable to escape it. Social and familial norms further pressure women to remain in the role of the 'obedient wife.' Jurisprudential teachings support this situation, considering intimacy with the husband as a woman’s duty. In this system, a woman’s psychological or physical readiness is ignored, and a woman who refuses sexual relations is labeled...more

Furthermore, Amnesty International is concerned that several offences covering acts of a sexual nature considered a lesser offence than rape under Swiss law allow for judges to consider a reduction in the penalty or an exemption from prosecution if the perpetrator is the husband or the partner of the victim" (2).more
