For decades, the law of the land in West Virginia stated that if two people were married, or even legally separated, they could not be convicted of certain sexual assault charges against their spouse.

But now, that law has changed.

West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice signed the bill known as Senate Bill 190 into law on March 22, according to a review of the legislature’s docket. It goes into effect on June 6.
