The high court has upheld a trial court's denial of anticipatory bail to a man, whose wife has accused him and her in-laws of rape, unnatural sex, and physical assault, calling her accusations 'serious'.
Saying that 'any sexual intercourse or sexual act by husband cannot be termed as rape' if wife's an adult, bench noted that lack of consent 'loses its importance' in such circumstances.
Section 375 of the IPC defines the offence of rape, but carves out an exception for married couples. Citing this, HC ruled that a husband cannot be tried for anal sex with his wife.
The order closely follows a 2022 Supreme Court judgment, allowing survivors of marital rape to seek abortion of unwanted pregnancy within 20-24 weeks of conception.
Court made strong remarks as it rejected bail plea of woman accused of abetting daughter-in-law's sexual abuse at the hands of her son, saying she 'played equal role as other accused'.
Ranjit Singh Kohli — alias Raquibul Hassan — gets life term for wounding religious sentiments of his 'wife' & other charges, while his mother Kaushal Rani was given a 10-yr sentence.
Proposed Bharatiya Nyaya Samhita, 2023 has scrapped Section 377, which offered gender-neutral protection against ‘unnatural sex’ while also safeguarding animals.
I have absolutely no doubt that the Nandan Nilekani-led NEET committee will come up with a very relevant and useful set of recommendations. But will it help?
Our education system is a destroyer of all talent by enforcing learning by rote, pushing students to coaching classes to ‘crack’ competitive exams. And then, papers leak.
It’s quite simple. If you don’t wanna have sex, don’t marry. Marriage, quite obviously, carries the expectation of sexual relations – both the partners are supposed to satisfy each other’s sexual desires.
Such stories of consent should be explored in Indian Islamic families more actually. You know .. start with consent to marry the 1st woman, consent to have sex with 1st wife, consent to marry a 2nd and 3rd woman, and a collective consent from those 3 wives to marry and do it with a 4th woman.
And, then, move onto exploring consent in the context of Halala. Imagine a scenario where every wife goes through that process…consensually of course.
I hope this blogger or someone in his/her/whatever league would oblige
