Marital Rape in India

Currently there is a huge debate going on in India, about bringing legislation to recognize marital rape. The marital rape that is meant in these demands is that "rape can be committed only by husband on the wife". The demand stems from the orthodox presumption that all Indian husbands are sex crazy, and their wives are celibate women. That Indian wives don't like sex, and they treat their husbands like God, and are ever ready to please their husbands. Sounds weird, stupid and wrong, isn't it ? Well it is. The presumption that Indian women are goddesses and men are rascals is extremely bigoted and totally misleading. The reality is that Indian wives are very good at filing false cases against their husbands. This is very well documented. All this is in terms of Indian context, but might be applicable in other places too.

Marital rape doesn't considers the fact, that wife can force the husband to have sex with her. If the husband doesn't wants to have sex with his wife, he is in a big soup. Since according to the Protection of Women From Domestic Violence Act, if the husband doesn't satisfies the sexual whims of his wife, it is a crime. Furthermore, if the wife is a sex maniac, she normally goes to court, and calls her husband impotent. Honorable Supreme Court of India, has already declared that husband needs to provide free sex to his wife, else it will adversely affect the wife's health. The husband has to act according to the whims of his wife, since it is a choice between bad and worse for him.

Opportunist crooked minded feminists are using the Delhi rape frenzy to pass pervert marital rape law. Per them, only wife can be raped. Even if the husband doesn't wants sex, and wife forces herself on him, the wife will be termed as victim, and the husband evil. In reality even if nothing happens the wife, can still go, and file a rape complaint. They want a very vague law, which will be used to screw the husband legally. As usual, the word of the wife will be the gospel truth. If she says, she was raped, that's it. No evidence will be needed. In the current rape cases, 74% cases are consensual sex. Add to that more fabricated cases. The current IPC 498A section has got 100% false cases. Marital rape will be no different.
Debating logically with these feminists is insane. Since the feminists arguments are devoid of any logic. The basic premise of the feminist argument is that, wife is always a victim. When feminists are shown, atrocities committed by wives on husbands, they term these cases as exceptions. If data is shown, which shows, that husbands suffer more then wives, feminists arguments is that women suffer in silence. Which is again incorrect. Women (specifically Indian wives) normally are more vocal about their demands. The final weapon of feminists is that, they will keep shouting, and won't allow the person to speak. And if the other person still persists in a quite manner, he is abused verbally, and physically. All this under the garb of "Women Empowerment".

Marital rape law, if it is passed, it will be the death knell for the Indian family system as we know it.

Indian Wife CAN and DOES files rape complaint against husband

Feminists are currently lobbying hard in India to add a provision of marital rape for wives only in Indian laws. A parliamentary committee is currently reviewing the rape laws in India. http://164.100.47.5/newcommittee/press_release/bill/Committee%20on%20Home%20Affairs/130_2012_Eng_LS.pdf

Lets look at the provisions in law, regarding rape of wife by husband,
IPC Section 375: "Exception.- Sexual intercourse by a man with his own wife, the wife not being under fifteen years of age, is not rape" (Please don't ask logical questions like, if the wife is below eighteen years, the marriage itself is illegal :-)
IPC Section 376A : Intercourse by a man with his wife during separation -- Whoever has sexual intercourse with his own wife, who is living separately from him under a decree of separation or under any custom or usage without her consent shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to two years and shall also be liable to fine.  (This is being corrected to -  for a term which shall not be less than two years but which may extend to seven years and shall also be liable to fine.)

Feminists(includes judges) will tell you that marital rape is not a crime in India, and hence no provision for a wife to register her complaint. To misguide the public, they point to judgements, where the court acquits husbands, saying that no such provision exists in law. The fact, that a criminal case was instituted against the husband, in itself proves that the police took cognisance of the wife's complaint, and initiated criminal proceedings against the husband. We have seen (in case of Delhi rape) how the Indian society treats an alledged rapist. So one can imagine, the torture, the accused undergoes. After years of torturous trial, the husband is finally acquitted. He is arrested for a crime, which is not even a crime per law. It would be interesting to know, that husbands, do not receive any compensation for illegal/wrongful cases against them. Imagine what will happen, in the case, where the crime is defined in Indian laws.
Reading this in conjunction with the Protection of Women Against Domestic Violence Act, 2005, makes it more confusing, or rather weighs in favor of wives.
3. Definition of domestic violence.- For the purposes of this Act, any act, omission or commission or conduct of the respondent shall constitute domestic violence in case it-

(a) harms or injures or endangers the health, safety, life, limb or well- being, whether mental or physical, of the aggrieved person or tends to do so and includes causing physical abuse, sexual abuse, verbal and emotional abuse and economic abuse;

In many cases, the husband is a slave of the wife. He has to act as per the whims of the wife. He has to earn money, be a porter, driver, etc for the wife(i.e. do laborious jobs). If he fails to behave as per her whims, she can always file a complaint of rape against him, or his relatives. As happened in the case of Mr. Jai Prakash Lodhi . http://indiankanoon.org/doc/197370692/ The wife filed a case of gang rape against the relatives of the husband. Since no evidence of any sort is needed for a wife, the allegations were all hollow. The husband and his relatives were acquitted after 14 years. 14 years is the term for life sentence in India. So it was as good as having served a life sentence for no crime committed. Please don't think this was an exceptional case.
