💨 Abstract

Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha leader Derek O’Brien introduced a private member's bill in the Rajya Sabha to remove the exception for marital rape under Section 63 of the Bharatiya Nyay Samhita. The exception, which rules out forced sexual intercourse by a man with his wife as rape, undermines women's autonomy and equality, according to O’Brien.
