A South Korean woman has been charged with raping her husband, after allegedly locking him in the house and forcing him to have sex with her for 29 hours.

Prosecutors claim she raped her spouse to obtain “favorable evidence” to later use in divorce proceedings.

The woman, referred to only by her surname Kim, is the first wife to be charged with marital rape in the country, according to the Yonhap news agency.

Marital rape only became a crime in South Korea in May, 2013.
