Angelina Husbands have the right to demand that the wife wears a chastity belt, the wife has to accept this if the husband has informed her before the marriage. he can sue later in court if the wife does not fulfill her marital obligations or is unfaithful.
Parents can apply to the court for the daughter to wear a chastity belt, but they have to justify it well and have it approved by a judge, and there is also supervision by an official authority that checks that the parents are not abusing the power
what do you think of it and do you have any ideas how to make it more concrete?
There’s a thing in the USA that this reminds me of, which never really went anywhere: “covenant marriage,” which is like super-sized marriage. The contract from the start says you give up the right to no-fault divorce, and divorce is much harder. It was a reaction to the perception that American divorce was too easy to get, and created a special form of religious-type marriage you could opt into.
The scenario presupposes a basic thing; that women’s access to themselves is secondary, and that the right to belt women supersedes their personal autonomy. I honestly feel like this would be a deal-breaker for many nations, but not all of them, and I can name a dozen US states that would adopt your plan right now.
Every time I think about mass chastity, I think about what I call the “Doc B Test.” Named for my friend Dr. Billingsley (not her real name), who is the least likely person to wear chastity that I’ve ever met. She enjoys sex a lot, primarily with women, and has no problem whatsoever with masturbating when she pleases. (She would have great fun with Rafael’s statement that masturbation is one of the most socially objectionable things a respectable woman can do.) She is relatively young, single, has no intention of ever getting married, and has moderately conservative parents.
On paper, she seems like an ideal candidate to wear the belt in this hypothetical world. Sexually libertine, unlikely to settle down, with parents who disapprove of all this and could petition to get her locked. But she’s not just her gender or her sex life. She’s a brilliant neuroscientist whose work has been cited in papers in multiple languages. She’s a highly regarded college professor on tenure track, whose students love her. It sounds almost insane to think of locking up someone like her because her parents disapprove of her sex life. But I’d bet in a government-sponsored chastity scenario, it would be authorized to lock her up against her will. And I don’t like the idea of that at all.
(As a side note: for at least some people who would support such a law, keeping Dr. B under control would be the POINT. In their minds, her PhD studies took a spot that a man deserved, and her dedication to her work is denying some man a good housewife. I’m not saying anyone here feels this way, but in America, MANY would.)
