Attracting the crime in the nature of “rape” as recognised in India to the institution of marriage can be arguably considered to be excessively harsh and therefore, disproportionate.
This was the crux of the centre’s argument on the question of marital rape which is exempt from most rape legislations, which it submitted to the supreme court, In a 49-page long affidavit opposing the criminalisation of marital rape, the centre gave a multitude of examples on how a marriage, especially in a country like India, is such a unique concept that ‘mathematical niceties’ of law cannot be applied here.
One of the primary petitioners in the case, All India Democratic Women’s Association’s General Secretary, Mariam Dhawale speaks with NDTV’s Anwiti on the centre’s affidavit which argues criminalisation of marital rape is not needed in a society like India.
