Up until 1991 there was no such crime as marital rape, however since then law agencies do take claims of it seriously, and do take action.
Are you bolding that part out in order to show us marital rape never existed before? or that it was never reported before?
Anyway there is no rape of a wife in Islam, how can there be when she is halal for him?

Most of the Muslim wives are indeed submissive and also most of the Muslim men are henpecked too in real life., Ella.
"I am not in the mood, honey" and "I am very tired" or "Not today, dear", still works. People care and this just does not apply to Muslims.
There could be some isolated cases of some Muslim brute who forced his wife into sex with him, when she did not want it but that cannot come under rape. We cannot cry rape.
The one I posted was about the problems faced by non-Muslim women.

Nobody 'cries rape' in the situation you have described. It is, by any measure, rape, pure and simple. Whenever any physically stronger person forces any weaker person into sex, it is rape. Whenever psychological pressure is applied to obtain sex from an unwilling victim, that is rape. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a brute animal.
The law was clarified to make rape as much of an offence inside marriage as outside because of people with your Neanderthal outlook.
