💨 Abstract

The Chhattisgarh High Court has acquitted a man of rape charges after ruling that sexual intercourse, including unnatural acts, by a man with his adult wife cannot be considered an offence if she is above the age of 15. This is based on a 2013 amendment to the Indian Penal Code that states sexual intercourse by a man with his own wife is not considered rape.
