A woman comes to police and tells them that her husband has been raping her every night and she is afraid of what he might do to her if she tries to leave him.
Police arrest the husband and talk to him. (Usually police just throw the person in jail and do not talk to them, but let's suppose this time they do) The man tells police that, no, his wife is lying, and she has raped him several in the past, and threatened to kill him if he tries to leave her.
You are the judge. You get to decide what should happen. What do you do?
How should society and the justice system handle these sort of situations?
Maybe you think women in relationships should be protected. But are you okay putting the man in prison based only off the accusations of the woman?
These are your options:
A) Put the man in prison but not the woman, because she is a woman
B) Put the man in prison but not the woman, because she reported it to police first
C) Put both the man and woman in prison for an equal amount of time
D) Put both of them in prison, but put the man in prison longer than the woman
E) It's just a he said, she said situation. Neither should be put in prison
