Indian law, Marital-lawAbstract
Regardless of the present situation, where marital rape is given little attention to legal fraternity, it is a serious crime which provokes a woman. According to Indian law, a woman having sex with a woman under the age of sixteen becomes a victim of rape. However, a married woman is not raped even after being forced to enter sexual intercourse. The idea that a woman cannot take legal protection when her husband is forced to have sexual intercourse, herself is upset.
