Question

What is the meaning of "necessity and force theory"?

Answer 1

It is a defense used to explain why the committing of a crime should not be punished.  Such as a person used force to defend their life from an attacker, or a person drove drunk to evade someone trying to kill him/her.  That the defender did what was necessary to save their life and that the defender used force only as needed for self-preservation.  It is not unlimited though

It is considered valid within reason..such as drunk driver case..it would be accepted until that person exceeded the limits of reasonable distance to be safe from attacker.  In the case of using force there are limits as well as the use of self defence to excuse killing an attacker would not be valid if the attacker had no weapon and was 1/2 the size of the defender..etc.

Answer 2

Out of necessity to satisfy his passion the man forced himself into the woman simply because she was the nearest source to relieve his passion.
