Marital rape is still not outlawed in India. Changing that would be ‘excessively harsh,’ government argues

  1. Talking about something being harsh? How about being the victim of martial rape and not being able to do anything about it.

  2. Wtf is it with India and rape? It’s like there’s another horrific story every other week. Is this a media bias thing or is that region really deranged for some reason? Genuine question.

  3. This is a terrible ruling.

    While marital rape is still penalized fairly severely, I don’t understand the logic behind not allowing it to be reclassified as rape (*which carries even more significant consequences*). That is how it should be.

    If you have a generation of men and women that aren’t literate enough to understand basic consent norms, you need stringent laws that makes sure there is some mechanism to provide security to the women (*99% of rape victims in India*) in need.
