Rape, Marital, Sexual, Abuse,Victim, Consent,Physical Intercourse

Women are held with high respect in old Indian society, the Vedas praised women as the mother, the creator, the one who brings life, and venerated her as a 'Devi' or Goddess. Women played an important role but their subjection to abuse by way of Domestic Violence, Marital Rape, Dowry Death, Torture were seen as humiliating not only to the lady, but to the entire society. Generally, women are viewed and portrayed as sex objects and sufferers of harshness both physically & mentally in their entire life and out of this marital rape or forceful sex ranks on top as one of most horrifying and evil acts which make a woman, a lifeless soul causing devasting effect on victim’s physical, sexual and psychological health. Even after living in 21st century women are still being considered as a weaker section subject to domination by masculine section. In current scenario as well, legislature decided to keep silence on the view of eliminating the evil of marital rape in India owing to which the hand of judiciary is also tied up to take an effective step ahead in this respect due to which women are deprived of effective laws to protect their dignity and end up being a victim of sexual abuse by their own husband. Through this research paper, the author attempts to highlight the need for special and stringent provisions to criminalize and eradicate the vulnerability faced by women who have been the victim of marital rape. The paper presents a wide overview with respect to definition of marital rape, current status of marital rape cases and how is it being different from rape, effect of women’s physical and mental health, comparative analysis and remedies available.
