I now recall trying this game earlier and not liking the way it was written. Every guy in it seems to be an asshole, there is a ton of spelling and context issues plus nonsensical plot lines like this...

...that would not be a good legal defense for her husband, it would be the direct opposite. It would just add more ammo to use against him in any divorce proceedings. If you want to find some reason for her to worry, make it believable like an ironclad prenuptial agreement or something stating that she would get nothing in a divorce.
Sorry, that's just like my opinion man. Feel free to ignore it, as I am sure many would disagree with me.
So I respect your opinion first of all , one this is a little more explored but during the trial these "papers" signed by mia are exactly what you're defining , john wanted her to sign what you're saying above so she doesn't get property but gets to stay with kiara during her memory recovery phase. ( which was a lie as he never wanted that)
In our break / revamp phase we are doing proofreading and more renders for the intro to break it down further.
Two , the thing about voluntary intoxication and involuntary as per law is this -
If it was voluntary then yes he would be charged for rape / sexual assault and will go proper trial.
If involuntary he has the defense to claim two clauses
One is the node itself that they were not in the sound state of mind when the event occured and hence cannot be proven with malintent to rape.
Two is claiming insanity or creating fake alibis as well , which is what john would've done if the first didn't work.
That is hence why him being at the club was removed altogether , yes there are tip toe ways around it legally but if you were to go book by book then even with anything going on the trial would be in favor of mia.
Much like how in better call saul just because jimmy convinces the jury chuck has intent it doesn't mean he wouldn't get disbarred for violating rule 7 conduct.
To move forward the plot some inconsistency is needed , It's alot like why did ciri go to kaer morhen when they could've gone to the witch temple and fought the wild hunt there and vesemir wouldn't die , Yes.. she could.. but then there would be no game.
I hope you understand now , in revamp we'll try to exposition it a bit more at the start instead of at the trial but you have to have some sense of disbelief.
With that said I am okay with your claim and i hope you still enjoy the overall story regardless.
