One Case, Fifty States: When Marriage Was An Exception To The Law
For much of U.S. history, marriage quietly overruled consent, shielding a crime the law refused to name. We revisit the 1978 case that cracked that silence and follow the slow, uneven fight to recognize spousal rape as a crime nationwide. Even now, it raises an uncomfortable question: when the law changes, how long does it take for beliefs to follow?
Guests:
- Sarah Weinman, journalist, author, Without Consent: A Landmark Trial and the Decades-Long Struggle to Make Spousal Rape a Crime.
Weinman writes that in October of 1978, John Rideout raped Greta in front of their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter.
