Didn't know that one. Interesting. Du you happen to know when consent was first expressively mentioned in connection with rape?
(because in most ancient laws I ever had a look on, it's at best a sidenote (defining if the woman has to suffer the same punishment or not), the consent of her "owner" being the part that was considered important.
And when was the first law instated that persecutes rape within wedlock? (*Shamelessly uses access to historian*)
