Why is Marital Rape in Lebanon still not a crime? And has no political party ever push for it?

According to article 503 of the Lebanese Penal code "Whoever forces women other than his spouse, through violence and threats to have sex, is punished for hard labor for at least 5 years." The article limits the crime to non-marital.

I know there was a push in 2017 which was, I think by a women's rights organization and NOT any prominent party in Lebanon. This one managed to remove the article that allowed Rapists to marry their victims and go uncharged which very tied marital rape.

Religious tensions in Lebanon

Do you think Lebanon could split in the future into a Christian, Sunni, Shia state. Since Muslims and Christians can’t really coexist and don’t like each other.

There are also differences in terms of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Almost all Lebanese Christians love Israel and hate Palestinians. While Sunnis and Shias support Palestine. Do you think the Lebanon we know now won’t exist in the future?

What's the endgame?

They started shooting rockets towards israel in support for Gaza. As a result, events escalated quickly towards a fully fledged war with Israel which lead to a total distraction of the south, tens of thousands of casualties and injuries and the displacement of some hundreds of thousands of citizens.

Therefore, I do believe negotiations is the way out, because at this point, I do not think hezbollah even knows what's the end game.

My opinion in this a bit complicated, which manifests itself by ignoring those people specially on socials because they are selfish for taking this foolish decision.

Let me know your opinion

Thanks

If you live near an electronic store or warehouse or work in one, or work in the port of Beirut be careful.

Anything that can be used for drone components. The bigger, the more likely it will be targeted.

IDF is getting ready for an Iranian missile response because of the bombing of Dahieh. In the coming days, if this restarts, Israel will start their efforts to deny hezbollah of their drone capacity. That means anything that can be used to build drones. And the port where the stuff comes in from.

The ugly side of Iran including us in a ceasefire: anecdote.

South Lebanon is my home. Many people just want a ceasefire so that they can relax and feel a trifle of peace. Even if it were achieved by Iran. I don't blame them.

But while that may be a short-term gain and relief, it is a long-term burden on Lebanon.

When the initial ceasefire happened, obviously I returned south from displacement. Crossing the Litani river, I saw a most disappointing charade: Hezbollah motherfuckers, giving out pictures of the sewer rat Nasrallah and Hezbollah flags, among other stuff. With your classic propaganda anasheed.

This is why Iran is drooling to achieve a ceasefire here and why they desperately reject any negotiations between Lebanon and Israel. If these negotiations secure a win, and indeed they have secured a best case scenario, that means Iran doesn't get to take the credit, by extension Hezbollah would seem more useless.

So for any Lebanese or Pakistanis in Sweden pretending to be Lebanese, we never want Iran to take the credit. It ultimately circles back to this whole war happening again. We are only a bargaining chip, they don't actually give a shit.

Please Report Any Content that Sexualizes Minors or Solicits Sexual Services on the Sub

Long story short, someone tried to solicit sex from minors today on the sub, specifying an age range of 13-15. The comment was removed immediately and we reported the account to Reddit, which took it down instantly.

We have had a slight increase in the number of posts and comments that are soliciting sexual services on the sub. While sex between consenting adults is fine and certainly not illegal, please keep these requests off the r/Lebanon sub as there are other subs that cater to sexual themes between consenting adults.

As for ANY content involving sexualization of minors, we WILL report to Reddit and we WILL permaban the account. This is not negotiable and we don't play when it comes to children being harmed.

Thank you all for keeping this sub safe and civil. With your help by reporting this content, we can keep minors on our sub safe.

Israel targeting civilians - a strategy of pressure and intimidation

Anyone else worries that if these negotiations collapse and no deal emerges that satisfies both sides, we could see a much wider war?

My concern is that Israel may escalate by expanding strikes far beyond the current scope in an attempt to increase internal pressure on Hezbollah and the broader Lebanese population. In that scenario, nowhere would truly feel safe :v

We've seen them use this approach before, (the "Dahiya Doctrine)" the idea of using overwhelming force and damage to civilian infrastructure to create deterrence and pressure. If tensions continue to rise, there's no guarantee such tactics would remain limited to Dahieh or any specific area. Like they can literally target any place and say "khezbollah was there". Imagine the terror??

Whatever your political views are, the prospect of another full-scale war is really frightening. The human cost would be enormous and as always the people would once again be the ones paying the price.
