When the law is used against humanity

"Karl you know me as an Iranian married in London to an Iranian wife with three beautiful children...I mean both of us have known each other for a long time, went through a lot."

"That you sit here with me in Ghana outside my home is still unbelievable."

"For the past two years, I was unable to work. Slowly I get back into the used shoe business."

"What did happen?"

"My wife reported me to the police for rape charges. But I never raped her, believe me. Later I found out she had cheated on me during our marriage and wanted me to be locked up in prison. I spent one day in a prison cell after the police had come to arrest me. The warehouse I had rented was set on fire, I assume she did it or someone for her. This was so painful that I was unable until recently to work. I love my kids dearly, Karl."

"Not all women are like that. Let me comfort you as you know my story so well of my ex-wife and my ex-son from another man."

"You told me, Karl."

"I am so confused now, not knowing who to trust. See this beautiful Nigerian girl at my side now. When I want to have sex for my protection I officially have to ask her for permission to have sex with her and outline what kind of practices I would like to have. To be on the safe side I need her to sign a contract as even years later she might in anger turn that night against me and says that I raped her just like my ex-wife did to me."

"This is a very dangerous situation these days we live in, my friend. Yes, rape in a marriage or in any other way must be punished by law. Sex must be based on consensus on both sides. We live in a world where laws go deep into humanity and personal life. Anything before the court only works by evidence. The evidence in such cases to be presented without harming the love relationship of two people is indeed a very difficult issue and I guess no one involved in the process from the legal side is happy. But such cases can be watched on TV these days more often than ever. Sometimes I think common sense should rule the world again."

"Karl, I am telling you...it is not easy."
