pluralthe following section from the legal code of the Bahamas
was brought to my attention, and amused me
so I thought I would share and specifically direct you to the section D
II. Rape
‘Definition of rape’, Section 3 of the " Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Act 1991 "
" Rape is the act of any person not under fourteen (14) years of age having sexual intercourse with another person who is not his spouse -
a) without the consent of that other person ;
b) with consent which has been extorted by threats or fear of bodily harm ;
c) with consent obtained by personating the spouse of that other person ; or
d) with consent obtained by false and fraudulent representations as to the nature
and quality of the act. "

it is only fairly recent in the US that a man could legally rape his wife, as consent was deemed to be implied by marriage
