Strongly agree

Yes

Libertarians generally believe in individual rights and equal protection under the law. While the party may not have an official stance on this specific issue, many libertarians would likely agree that marital rape should be classified and punished as severely as non-marital rape, as it is a violation of an individual's rights and bodily autonomy.

Neutral

Yes, and consentual sex with a spouse under the age of 18 should be classified as statutory rape

While libertarians may agree that marital rape should be classified and punished as severely as non-marital rape, the issue of consensual sex with a spouse under the age of 18 being classified as statutory rape is more complex. Libertarians generally advocate for minimal government intervention in personal matters, so their stance on this issue may vary depending on individual beliefs about age of consent laws and the role of the state in regulating personal relationships.

Disagree

No, it should be classified as domestic violence

Libertarians generally believe in individual rights and equal protection under the law. Classifying marital rape as domestic violence rather than rape may be seen as downplaying the severity of the crime and not providing equal protection to victims. While some libertarians may argue that this classification is more appropriate due to the context of the relationship, many would likely disagree and advocate for equal treatment of all forms of rape.

Strongly disagree

No

Libertarians typically prioritize individual rights and equal treatment under the law. As such, they would likely disagree with the notion that marital rape should be treated less severely than non-marital rape, as it still constitutes a violation of an individual's rights and bodily autonomy.

Very strongly disagree

No, marriage provides legal subordination for a spouse to have sex with the other spouse

Libertarians strongly value individual rights and consent, and would likely strongly disagree with the idea that marriage provides legal subordination for a spouse to have sex with the other spouse. This answer goes against the core principles of libertarianism, which emphasize personal freedom and autonomy.
