- - Marital Rape: S v HM 1989 SLT 469 – in 1801 it was said by (?) that
In no uncertain terms, it is a legal impossibility for a man to rape
his wife (LOL WTF) – not a crime because he is never having sex
with his wife w/o her consent????????

sexual intercourse whenever her husband wants it. YASSSS

children claimed to be a member of his family, but they had
never married = an unmarried couple are not a family = eviction
for this gal
- - Dyson Holdings v Fox [1975] 3 All ER 1030 – Court
changed its mine = an unmarried survivor of a
cohabitation was indeed a family member – Because
‘Family’, as what society understands, has changed

cohabitated couple (lesbians) – are they ‘Family’? – Nah
according to the court. You’re either lesbian, or Family

[1999] 4 All ER 707- Now society has moved
on significantly = same sex couples ARE
‘Family’

changed its mine = an unmarried survivor of a
cohabitation was indeed a family member – Because
