Marital rape is a crime in France: marriage never counts as consent. First steps, free helplines, the complaint, a protection order within 24 hours or six days, a twenty-year sentence and legal aid with no means test.

Texts day and night, calls, threats, fake accounts: ex harassment can be proved and punished in France. Penalties, evidence to keep, the complaint, the protection order within six days and the immediate order within 24 hours.
