I think in several states you CANNOT prosecute your husband, regardless of the other laws
That's only because they considered marriage implied consent. Statutory rape doesn't consider consent since the victims cannot legally give it. So it only would apply to general rape laws.
Also, that hasn't been true for more than 50 years. Every state has marital rape laws.
