ABSTRACT

One of the most heinous crimes that may be committed in India is marital rape. The crime of marital rape is not less serious than that of rape; rather, it is a form of rape. Marital rape typically affects married women. It poses one of the largest risks to India's gender justice system. It is one of those social ills that has been in India from antiquity and still causes havoc today. Marital rape has never been viewed negatively by Indian society. Due to a number of factors, it is rarely opposed by anyone in Indian society. In this way, the stance of the Indian legislative is similar.

Keywords: Marital Rape, India, Indian Society, Indian Legislature, Indian Executive, Indian Judiciary.
