Sex with Wife without her Consent is Rape
The question of woman’s consent in sex within marital relation is again on sharp focus. The split verdict of the two judge Bench - Justice Rajiv Shakdher and Justice C Hari Shankar - of the Delhi High Court on 11th May 2022 has reignited the issue. Justice Rajiv Shakdher headed the two-judge Bench.
The split verdict came out in the case RIT Foundation v. UOI and other connected matters, in a batch of petitions filed in 2015, challenging the protection provided to marital rape.
