The Right To Say No

Marital rape stands at the intersection of the socio-legal issues arising from both domestic violence and sexual assault. For centuries, women who suffered sexual assault perpetrated by their spouses had no legal recourse. A man's conjugal rights included his right to have sexual intercourse with his wife regardless of whether she consented. This right has been recognised in law, and still is in some jurisdictions today. This book emerges from the research undertaken by an innovative, multi-country, academic, collaborative project dedicated to comparatively analysing the legal treatment of sexual assault in intimate relationships, with a view to challenging the legal impunity for and inadequate legal responses to this form of gendered violence.

The Right to Say No to God and Christianity is abook that deals with the spiritual condition of many people today.There are a growing number of people who are exercising their God given right to say no tohim, hisholiness, love and truth.

This movement also exalts man as the only moral authority. The present condition of the world bears witness to what has happened to the world since man has taken on the roleas the truemoral authority. A negativeconsequence of man being a moral authority is hissupport of the spiritual war thathas caused massive destruction to the moralstandards that God has ordained for us to live by. Many people are engaged in activities that can be characterized as open rebellion against God and his righteousness. God's morality is no longer a standard that must be maintained but a standard that can be altered to justify un-godly behavior. Sin feels good and many people want to feel good. They live their lives to please the desires of the flesh. They do thisregardless of the eternal consequences that we all must face for our actions. This book serves as a guide for Christians to follow during this time of open rebellion against God.
