Wow, that does read tricky! You are right, I had to read it again and again. What a messy state!

Marital Rape Law In Ohio
The state of Ohio is still one of the places a women does not want to be a victim of marital rape. The chances of a spouse being prosecuted for the offense are next to none. Marital rape is one of the most reprehensible sex crimes and the Government of Ohio still does everything in it’s power to sweep the truth under the rug so to speak.
Marital rape was not considered a crime in all 50 states until 1993. That means that a mere 14 years ago the wife was still treated like the property of her husband. Any sexual abuse that occurred during marriage was not illegal.
You should also know that 33⁄50 states, including Ohio and Kentucky, still grant some exceptions to husbands who rape their wives. In Ohio, the prosecutors must prove there was force.
