💨 Abstract

The Chhattisgarh High Court has cleared a 40-year-old man of charges including rape, forcible anal penetration, and culpable homicide. The court ruled that sexual acts by a husband with his wife, even without her consent, are not considered an offence in India if the wife is over 15 years of age. This ruling has sparked a renewed debate on marital rape.
