"National Legislative Assembly (NLA) yesterday accepted the principle of proposed legal amendments that will allow male rape victims to sue their abusers.
As parts of the proposed amendments, cuckolded husbands will also be able to demand compensation in from their wives' lovers while an engaged person is entitled to receive compensation from other person (s) who have sex with, rape or attempt to rape his fianc้e or her fianc้.
Justice Minister Charnchai Likhitjittha Wednesday explained that the proposed amendments to the criminal code would make it an offence for individuals to rape a person who is not their wife or husband."

The rapist can be female. This was added to satisfy the equal opportunities lobby!! A woman tried to rape me once but I was strong - not in that department.

What Dept. was that Wowpow, the Dildo Dept.?
You've been there, surely . . . or if you haven't, wish you'd had (Shirley
).A women might molest a man, or harrass a man, or abuse a man, but how do they "rape" a man ('sans apparatis'), given the plumbing?
Cheers ....

Obvioiusly you have not read, or forgotten, Myra Breckinridge by Gore Vidal in which a woman buggers a handsome young man with a strap on dildo.
"Men may have hard time proving rape - The Nation
It will be difficult, but not impossible, to prove a man's complaint that a woman raped him, according to police.
Earlier this week, the National Legislative Assembly approved in principle a proposal to amend the criminal code so that male rape victims would be able to sue their abusers. Current laws recognise rape complaints filed by female victims only. National Police assistant commissioner Jongrak Juthanont yesterday said if the proposal became law, it would be investigators' duty to gather evidence when male victims lodge rape complaints.
"We can examine the alleged crime scene. We can check the physical conditions of the complainants and their alleged abusers. We can check if any clothes are ripped," Jongrak said. As an example, he said it would be hard to believe if a big man accused a smaller woman of raping him. A young boy's complaint that fully grown women raped him, on the other hand, could have more grounds, he said.
Jongrak added that the relationship between the complainant and the alleged attacker would also be a key matter. "We have to be very careful if the accused and the accuser have had a relationship," he said.
Pol Colonel Pornchai Sutheerakhun of the Forensic Medicine Institute said physical examinations could find evidence in men who were forced to have anal sex if the victims immediately went to doctors.
"Bruises on the complainants' bodies also count as evidence," he explained. Pornchai was not confident about gathering evidence for a man's complaint that a woman raped him.
Meanwhile, Women's Affairs and Family Development Office deputy director Kingkeaw Insawang said the proposed legal amendment was intended to protect all rape victims, including boys, men and transsexuals. The change focuses on a legal clause in the current criminal code, which now defines a rapist as someone who rapes a person who is not his wife.
In the proposed draft, rapists are those who rape a person who is not their wife or husband."
