The Supreme Court of India is set to decide on the criminality of marital rape, a significant legal issue that has seen the Centre remain silent. This comes in light of pleas against laws granting immunity to husbands from prosecution in cases of marital rape. The case, Rabina Ghale vs. Union of India [Writ Petition (Criminal) No. 265 of 2022], will be a pivotal moment in addressing the legal framework surrounding marital rape in the country. The hearing is scheduled for 17/09/24.
