CALL NOW:
Rescind Marriage as a Defense to Sex Crimes
Ask House Judiciary Committee Members to
SUPPORT HB590 with
NO Amendments
Thank you for all of your calls to the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee in support of rescinding marriage as a defense to sex crimes!
The House Judiciary Committee is now going to take up their version of the bill, and the Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault (MCASA) urges you to contact committee members to voice your support for HB 590: Marriage Should Not Be a Defense to Sex Crimes – Love is No Defense Act.
Currently, Maryland law allows marriage to be a defense to some sex crimes. Your legal relationship with another human being should not be an excuse to permit rape.
MCASA asks that you contact the members of the committee and voice your support for HB 590: Marriage Should Not Be a Defense to Sex Crimes – Love is No Defense Act, to give justice to survivors of marital rape and sex offenses.
A list of the members of the House Judiciary Committee along with their contact information is below.
