Abstract

In the present work, the foundations of the patriarchal order will be addressed, a term commonly designed to explain the dictates of male domination in the face of women and, consequently, their submission. In this vein, patriarchy is the coercive instrument used to legitimize male supremacy and dictate behavior and role of women in society. Thus, what is to be analyzed in the present essay is the relationship between patriarchy, male domination and the crime of marital rape. At first, in order to encompass the theme, it will be addressed the creation of the patriarchal order and its logic of thought. Subsequently, based on the concepts of the female condition and symbolic violence of Pierre Bordieu, the historical process of naturalization of patriarchy will be analyzed and of male domination. Finally, the relationship between the aforementioned concepts and crime of marital rape, understood as sexual violence within the constancy of intimate relationships
