Japan is considering enacting a new law to modify its "controversial" rape laws by redefining rape to include "non-consensual sexual intercourse," BBC reported. Currently, Japanese law defines "forcible sexual intercourse" as rape, in contrast to many other countries, where rape is defined broadly as any non-consensual intercourse or sexual act—where no means no. Reportedly, only one-third of rape cases in Japan are prosecuted.
