Abstract
In June 1993, a 18-year old woman was raped and became pregnant. She was under psychiatric treatment because of some schizophrenic disorders associated with mental retardartion (IQ = 55). She was living with her family (parents, one brother, one sister and two maternal uncles), but nobody realized that she was pregnant until the begining of the fourth month. According to the Spanish Penal Law, this was a rape case; among other cases, having sexual intercourse with a woman who cannot give valid consent is classified as “rape”.
