title: R. v. Kowalski, 8 October 1987.
abstract: The Court of Appeal of the UK held that, although a man cannot be found guilty of raping his wife because of the implied consent to sexual intercourse arising from marriage, he can be found guilty of indecent assault for forcing his wife to perform an act of fellatio.  It ruled that the state of marriage does not imply consent to fellatio, even if long practiced in the marriage.
