n 2017, Karuna Nundy wrote an open letter to Indian women, laying out the protections in the country’s constitution if they are raped, assaulted, seeking an abortion, or demanding fair treatment from an employer. “I write to you today so you will know your power,” she wrote. “The State must enforce your basic rights, but you are in charge of your flourishing. Promise me you’ll back yourself when nobody else will.
Right now, the law would disagree. Marital rape isn’t a crime in India, one of three dozen countries—including Bangladesh, Iran, Nigeria, and Libya—where it’s still legal for a man to have nonconsensual sex with his wife. This is despite apublished by the government in 2018 that found that 86% of the female sexual violence survivors surveyed had been assaulted by their former or current husband.
At the age of 15, Nundy was stalked by a classmate in school and received rape threats. When her mother reported the incidents to the head teacher, their concerns were dismissed. It was a defining moment for Nundy. “Generations of women are raised by parents to believe they can do anything and then come face-to-face with sexual violence,” she says. “Things haven’t changed enough.”
About time , there is no need for this barbaric behaviour in this day and age , and I’m a pure blood descendant of Vikings so what’s that tell you , the hurt of rape in culture is unimaginable, it’s not where you come from it’s where you go ♠️ L

But that's normal, part of Hinduism. It's all about sex, you take out sex and Hinduism dies. That's why they have sexual statues symbols on all their Temples.
But this time, will the government avoid the errors the US made when they did the same (in most US States)? Will the wives so raped be told that they're expected to take their husbands into civil courts, and then set them free to do the same to other 'new' wives?

Nobody even knows her in india - a self advertising lawyer
Long live the patriarchy
India hasn't criminalized rape yet we let in nearly a million Indians a year, shows you what direction this nation is headed in. Somehow most feminists don't see this as a problem.
for such a nation (race) with smart brains, I'm disappointed this is still the case in 2022, husbands given the right to view their wives as animals nd treat them in accordance,...
You guys are sick, with a captial SICK.

Back in mid-2000 decade, Tulsi Virani, wife of a Business Tycoon in India, raised the same issue for her daughter in law, Nandani, and went against her son Anch Virani.
By the same people who think abortion is not murder
“Marital Rape” is rape. Stop it please.
