Neeraj Malik

Abstract :

A women privacy and integrity is utalized by any kind of sexual offence against her. After Nirbhaya case in 2013, rape laws were amended on the recommendation of the justice j.s.verma committee report. However in India, marital rape is not yet criminalized, as it is presumed that in a marriage there are implied consent by both partners. But, reality is not so. Rape is rape even if it is between husband and wife. Marital rape is sexual intercourse without the consent where the perpetrator is victim’s spouse. Most of the developed countries have criminalized marital rape as it is violation of fundamental rights. However, in India it is not yet criminalized although it was recommended by law commission and the justice verma committee as well.
