when is rape,rape?

there is a lot of press about Kenneth Clarke's comments about rape and the different levels.
I am not a woman but I have to ask is it rape when a wife doesn't consent to sex and when the husband demands it and performs the act, is it rape ?
I am not sure if it's still not a legal charge if married.
However, what about the girls who cry rape as a cover up and they are generally protected but the mans name is all over the place and the stigma, if proven innocent still sticks and has ruined the life of the man.

In this case Mr Clarke made an error and has apologized, but according to the legal system there is a degree to argue and I think is where he was making his synopsis.

We shall see what happens over the coming weeks.
