Challenging the Marital-Consent Fiction: India's Fragmented Response to the Marital Rape Exception
This piece critiques the marital rape exception in Indian law, and argues that this colonial-era loophole survives despite modern constitutional protections for bodily autonomy and dignity. Beyond criminal statutes, the source identifies a sex-consent matrix in family law that views marriage as a site of sexual entitlement rather than a relationship of equals. Consequently, the authors advocate for a dual reform approach that involves striking down the legal exception and restructuring marriage laws to prioritize continuous consent.
