Here in AR, legally, a man can hit his wife, as long as it was done at the town square and no more than once a month. I'm sure this is a throwback from the 40s and I hope the law is revised because, frankly, it's sad and ridiculous at the same time.

What the hell. As much as I want to make a joke that is pretty fucked up. At least the South hasn't failed me yet again! Huzzah for the Confederacy! Huzzah for General Lee!

It is extremely fucked up, yes. When I was told by one my friends here, I thought she was messing up with me. Apparently, she wasn't.

So if some stranger just rolled up to you in the street, bent you over his knee and gave you a spanking you wouldn't take issue wit that? Or is it only your relatives that are allowed to give you a spanking?

Hitting someone during an argument is not a good excuse to hit them.

I mean, I'll lightly smack my bf on the ass sometimes, but it's playful (and usually he'll return this) and we're both fine with this. If he decided to hit me out of anger that would pretty much be the end of it. If I hit him in anger I suspect it would be about the same. As it should be.

I don't believe hitting one's wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend/fiancé(e) is justified in any case, except self-defence.

yeah

in truth there is probably no need for the wife to do anything more than divorce the husband who spanked her. sure she COULD get him arrested but that seems petty unless she was injured enough to go to the hospital.

My partner seems to enjoy spanking when she wants it. Beyond that, it's not ok. I wouldn't want her to spank me for "getting out of line" so I don't see the point in doing the same to her. We have a partnership

Divorce is better, Ash. She can take every single penny he has. Living well is by far the much better revenge.

Aren't there still states in the US where it's legally impossible to rape your spouse (since obviously, your spouse must always put out when you want sex)?

Not as far as I know.

Doubly entitled to? :p

Putting the joke aside, I don't know much about this law, tbh. I was told this by a friend and then sourced it. I live in a weird state, where oral sex is considered sodomy.

I'd obviously defend myself and tie his balls around his neck.
but yes, between relatives it is different - i mean, sometimes people do slap each other in families, it's normal.
