Are you aware that rape between husband and wife actually happens? Yes! It does exist! But sad to say, these incidents were kept secret between the couple. Violence being committed to spouses has gone unreported all throughout the duration of the marriage.

Destroying all the hopes and dreams of having a happy and peaceful life, with a husband and children. But the wife chose not to leave her husband, not even filed any complaints against the assault inflected upon her womanhood. What are the reasons behind her keeping it all to herself? Why does the abused wife chose to let the incident slip without so much as a murmur against it? The heartbreaking events have stayed and kept secret between the wall's boundaries. "But why?", you may ask?
