After the May 2022 split verdict on marital rape by the Delhi High Court, the case has gone to the Supreme Court, which will hear it on 21st March 2023.
India’s rape laws have undergone many changes, especially after the 2012’s Nirbhaya Case. Following this case, India saw a massive protest demanding stringent rape laws. Within one year, in 2013, an amendment was welcomed that further changed the rape laws.
However, marital rape continues to remain a taboo term due to its legal treatment. Rape laws in India are governed under Section 375 of the IPC. Exception 2 of Section 375, however, does not recognise marital rape as a crime.
To change this, a petition to criminalize marital rape was filed by a nonprofit called the RIT Foundation, which sought to strike down Exception 2 of IPC Section 375. On January 2, 2022, the day-to-day hearings of the case began. On May 11, 2022, the Delhi High Court handed down a Split Verdict on Marital Rape. This petition has now been taken to the Supreme Court, listed for 21 March 2023.
