In more places than you might care to mention, there are oddities with respect to rape. In some places, a man cannot be judged to have raped his wife even if he injured her by knife-point while forcefully having sex. In some states, an adult cannot be convicted of statutory rape if the minor was of the same sex. In others, only older men can be convicted, not women. Society can't get over sexual hang-ups, and screwed up laws are just a result of that.
