Supreme Court News | Time To Criminalise Marital Rape? Supreme Court To Hear Centre's Stand

Supreme Court News | The Supreme Court has indicated that it would hear the Centre's stand on pleas regarding criminalising marital rape. Neither under the old Indian Penal Code nor under the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, that has replaced the IPC is marital rape a criminal offence. The BNS has even provided immunity from prosecution to a husband accused of raping his wife who is above 18 years. On an earlier occasion, the Centre, represented by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, had said the case posed legal ramifications as well as societal viewpoints.
