1. I’m not sure. I don’t think I’ll ever get married.
2. No. Touching and oral are both sexual contact as well, so they would fall under this category too. Any kind of sexual contact would fall under this category, it doesn’t just have to include rape.
3. Because people under the age of 18 are not adults, therefore not deemed capable of giving proper consent. Childrens and adolescents’ brains are not fully developed, so their ability to make rational, thought out decisions is affected. Also they are much easier to manipulate and coerce.
4. There are so many. Physical Abuse (hitting, punching, kicking, slapping, pushing, grabbing, throwing objects, hitting with an object, holding/restraining against their will, hair pulling, choking, etc).
Sexual Abuse (demanding/coercing sexual contact of any kind, interference with birth control, refusal to wear protection, etc). Emotional/Verbal/Psychological Abuse (yelling, insulting, name calling, swearing, belittling, saying things to frighten them, ordering partner around/treating them like a slave, becoming angry when chores are not done when wanted and as wanted, jealousy and suspicion of partners friends and social contacts, withholding affection, threatening violence against people and animals, destroying personal property, blaming the partner for everything, etc).
Economic/Financial Abuse (restricts the partner’s usage of the family car or other means of transportation, not allowing partner to leave the home alone, preventing or forbiding the partner from working or attending school or skills training sessions, withholds resources such as money or spends a large share of the family budget on him- or herself leaving little money leftover for purchase of food and payment of bills, etc).
Social Isolation (preventing the partner from socializing with friends and/or seeing his or her family, restricting the partner’s usage of the telephone and/or car; not allowing the partner to leave the home alone, monitoring the partner’s time and whereabouts, acting in ways that are aimed at turning other people against the partner, acting jealous and suspicious of the partner’s friends and social contacts, etc).
Intellectual/Spiritual Abuse (punishing someone for having different intellectual interests or religious beliefs from others in the family, preventing them from attending worship services, ridiculing their opinions, etc).
