Yeah, it's 31 states. I saw this petition pop up on ye olde Facebook to end the practice, and I was all, "that can't be true! That's horrendous! Who would put a law like that on the books?!" After doing some research, yup, it's true.
What's worse is that some rapists actually use the law as a ploy to get their victims to drop criminal charges. As in, "If you drop the charges against me for raping you, I'll stop suing you for custody of 'our' baby".
