High court's marital rape exceptionalism

Hindustan Times East UP

|

February 13, 2025

But a 40-year-old man who allegedly indulged in brutal unnatural sex with his wife, which eventually led to her death, found himself exonerated by the Chhattisgarh high court (HC) this week because a man cannot be prosecuted for marital rape in India.
