Turkish court rules marital rape legitimate

As Turkey continues its move back to Islam, the very ideology that the Ottoman empire went by, they also take to legalizing rape in marriage (Hat tip: IRIS Blog):
In response to a ruling by Turkey's Supreme Court of Appeals that marital rape is not a crime, İsmet Berkan wrote in his column in Radikal that because of the ruling, if a woman "resists and is killed by her husband in the end, his penalty even could be reduced due to 'grievous provocation!' We learned [about] this during the ‘Stop Violence Against Women’ week..."

He continued, "Unfortunately, the court's decision has the effect of turning women into sex slaves in marriages... Forcing someone into sexual intercourse is called 'rape.' In Turkey, which is making efforts to end violence against women, the Court of Appeals decision must have been a really bad coincidence..."
The Turkish court's ruling goes in with such awful Koranic items as:
"Your women are a field for you (to cultivate) so go to your field as ye will" --Koran 2:223
And:
"Allah's Apostle said, "If a husband calls his wife to his bed (i.e. to have sexual relations) and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning." --Bukhari, 4.54.460
I see no reason to consider this country a partner in dealing with Iraq, and the court's ruling should be condemned.
