THE LEGAL RAPE
Lets take a tour today about the shunting characteristic of our Legislature and Judiciary. In India it is said that even a criminal has the rights. They have the right to claim and propose their excuse or whatever for what they did. Well, its a good thing. I am having no problem with that. There may be some deep reason behind that or for survey purpose that why did they do that or may be for some other reason our Judicial System do that favor to them. And there is a proper law for it.
But may I ask why there are no rights for the victims?
We live in a country where the accused one have the right to claim for their innocence or to justify their sin, but the victim doesn't. Its a kind of irony in our System.
I am talking about Marital Rape. Marital Rape refers to unwanted intercourse by a man with his wife obtained by force, threat of force, or physical violence, or when she is unable to give consent. Marital rape could be by the use of force only, a battering rape or a sadistic/obsessive rape. It is a non-consensual act of violent perversion by a husband against the wife where she is physically and sexually abused.
And let me tell you people that there is no Law in our Constitution for Marital rape. We have Amendments, Law Commissions, Legislation and Judiciary, still the most humiliating act is not an offense in India.
10-14% of married woman suffers Marital Rape by their insensitive husbands. And this very data have become now the excuse of the Legislature and Judiciary which indicates that many survivors of marital rape, report flash back, sexual dysfunction, emotional pain, even years out of the violence and worse, they sometimes continue living with the abuser.
Now, I want to ask that whatever this case is, rape is the most debilitating act and a crime, then whoever does it , it will still remain a crime only, the why don't we have a Law for this offense?
Why Marital Rape is not considered as a offense and a crime?
Why the victim of Marital Rape don't deserve justice?
Here a rapist can rape and fight by Law but the victims have to shut their mouth. Long live the system!
