A criminal court in Israel just convicted a man of "rape by deception" because he lied to his girlfriend, telling her he was Jewish, not Arab. When she found out, she brought him to court.
Now, (ignoring the obvious racism - she obviously liked him enough when she thought he was a Jew) obviously he shouldn't have lied, but it seems to me this kind of principle just opens up a huge can of worms. If I had a girlfriend, and she cheats on me, is it rape if we have sex when she hasn't yet told me about her affair? I mean, lying in a relationship is wrong, but I have trouble calling it "jail-time" wrong.
