Raping men

| | Comments (0)

I'm curious: does Malaysia have laws allowing for the fact that men could be victims of sexual rape?

A quick chat with a lawyer friend this morning made things even more confusing; Malaysia might not have any provisions protecting men from rape because the Malaysian Penal Code describes rape as "a penis forcibly entering a vagina" -- this could suggest that women are incapable of raping men!

If we look into Islamic law, it probably gets even murkier. Punishment for sexual crimes (excluding adultery and consensual sex) seem to be upon men, on the assumption that men will perform the crime, never women.
