When a couple gets married without the free consent of one of the parties we call that "forced marriage". When a married couple have sex without the consent of one of the parties that's called "rape" (but only since 1991 in the UK).

"spousal veto" sounds negative but it's a recognition of consent. A straight woman shld not be forced into a same sex marriage because her husband transitions. When did she become a lesbian? And a lesbian should not be bounced into a blind date with a member of the opposite sex.
