<h1>Nollywood actress, Victoria Inyama has countered the claims by colleague, Anita Joseph, over the nonexistence of rape in marriages.</h1>

<p>Anita Joseph had posted a video on her Instagram page a few days ago, where she argued that a woman cannot claim her husband raped her if he had sex with her when she wasn't in the mood.</p>

<p>In a video shared via her Instagram page on Sunday, June 14, 2020, the actress said rape in marriages exists.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to her, it is a form of domestic violence which she said she faced while she was married.</p>

<p><em>"I have been getting a lot of DMs over Aunty Joseph's video. Can a husband rape? Yes, a husband can rape his spouse. It depends. Let me define it. Marital rape or spousal rape is the act of sexual intercourse with one's spouse without the spouse's consent,"</em> she said.</p>

<p><em>"The lack of consent is essential here because it does not need to involve physical violence. Marital rape is a form of domestic violence and sexual abuse. Husbands can rape the wife. I do not know about wife raping a husband. The most important thing is consent is needed."&nbsp;</em></p>

<p><em>"A lot of women constantly raped in their marriage. They are so ashamed to even talk about it. I have experienced it and I am learning about it. The trauma and the damage it causes is beyond your understanding."</em></p>

<p>Inyama's latest video is coming days after Anita Joseph in the company of her husband, <strong>Michael Fisayo</strong> took to Instagram to talk about rape in marriages.</p>

<p>According to her, the body of a woman is like food to her husband and should be readily available anything he desires.</p>
