Abstract
A mail survey of 2000 Texas residents revealed that 35% of the 1300 respondents favored a law in which a wife could accuse her husband of rape. Subsequent analysis indicated that persons who were female, young, single, or educated were the most likely to favor this law when zero-order tests of significance were used. In a stepwise regression analysis, females, younger persons, and whites were the most likely to favor the law. Each of these groups was seen as having more modern attitudes towards sex roles. As there is a current trend towards altering immunity statutes for marital rape, monitoring public opinion concerning this issue is recommended.
