consent for sex vs shopping comparison in marriage

If physical relationship with wife, without her consent is termed as rape then.... Shopping without husband's consent should be termed as Robbery.

What kind of fallacy is it? Thanks, beginning to learn about fallacies.

This sounds more like a joke than a fallacy. However, it could be argued that it is a weak analogy because in the first case we are talking about a violation of bodily autonomy, which is very different from the latter case.

Whew, weak analogy is interesting, I’m getting a total non-sequitur.

Could this be false equivalence? Shopping is not equivalent to rape

Well, the money in a marriage is not ONLY the husbands so the premise that shopping without husbands consent is the wife stealing from the husband is a false premise. Now, it may be possible that in another culture the money in a marriage is the husbands and the wife has no access to it unless the husband gives it to her. That would make this reasoning a little different I would assume....based on American culture it's a false premise and weak analogy as it's been said.
