Maneka Gandhi tells us marital rape isn’t rape after all
It is considered that the concept of marital rape, as understood internationally, cannot be suitably applied in the Indian context due to various factors like level of education/illiteracy, poverty”. Mark the words “concept of marital rape”.
The bad news is that when you come home after a hard day of not being called “darling” by your petrified colleagues, and your husband comes home, and then forces you to have sex with him against your will—you can’t do diddly-squat about it. Yes, it’s rape—that’s what most of us who aren’t Maneka Gandhi or part of the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) or NDA (National Democratic Alliance) government call non-consensual sex. Yet, in the eyes of the law and the ministry, the “concept” of marital rape simply doesn’t exist. Basically, you imagined it.
Is Marriage a licence for rape?
