Law discriminates against married women by refusing equal protection from rape, said one of the panellists, at the discussion held virtually on Monday
There is a need for marital rape to be recognised as an offence under the Indian Penal Code and more discourse must be initiated on consent, said panellists at a discussion on Monday.
In a virtual panel discussion on marital rape titled ‘Does marriage mean consent?’ organised by the Prajnya Trust, a city-based non-governmental organisation, the panellists stressed the need to remove the marital rape exception in Section 375 of the Indian Penal Code as it made woman’s consent irrelevant.
The panel discussion was part of Prajnya’s 16-day campaign against gender violence.
