Consent In Marriage: An Analysis




Tanvi Suri, BBA LLB, O.P Jindal Global University

INTRODUCTION

“Her friends used to tell her it wasn't rape if the man was your husband. She didn't say anything, but inside she seethed; she wanted to take a knife to their faces.” - F. H. Batacan. India is one of the few countries in the world where marital rape isn’t a crime, where the concept of consent for sex seems to be a blanket one, irrespective of mental state of mind or physical health, when one gets married.1 The objective of this paper is to shed light on a grave problem that impacts women in our society, specifically marital rape, consent in matrimonial relationships and why such heinous, vile offences are still not criminalised.
