(Wl-1049)-The Unconstitutionality of Marital Rape
Marital Rape has been widely criticised by scholars and experts and is an abnegation of the basic human right of a woman. A recent Chhattisgarh High Court ruling has brought its continued presence in the Indian legal system under scrutiny. This letter is in response to a published article and calls for the de-legitimisation of ‘marital rape as it falls short on accepted principles of justice and fair play.
