Quote by Andrea Dworkin
Marriage as an institution developed from rape as a practice. Rape

Marriage as an institution developed from rape as a practice. Rape, originally defined as abduction, became marriage by capture. Marriage meant the taking was to extend in time, to be not only use of but possession of, or ownership. – Andrea Dworkin
