It is uncharted territory &#8211; and balancing off the rights of the wife and the husband is going to be tough. This column on the issues surrounding marital rape appeared in the FPJ on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freepressjournal.in\/lifestyle\/state-duty-to-protect-institution-of-marriage\">23rd of January<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMarriage Strike\u201d was hashtag that trended for a few days on Twitter. Behind the trend were angry and angst-ridden men who believed that their futures were being determined by feminists who were out to destroy the fabric of society by undermining the institution of marriage. They decided they will go on #MarriageStrike and not enter the Indian marriage market. This trend was hijacked by women all over the country, who celebrated the fact that they wouldn\u2019t face the prospect of meeting such men in the marriage market. And it was all quite funny. But behind the inadvertent hilarity caused by the trend and the response to it, lies a very serious issue \u2013 does sexual consent exist within a marriage?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This debate around Marital Rape has been triggered by a case before the Delhi High Court on whether the clause in section 375 of the IPC, which allows men to legally rape their wives, is constitutional. The case, heard by a 2-judge bench, has generated a fair amount of conversation and controversy around the nature of marriage, and the nature of consent. And, indeed, whether the law has the right to intervene in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018Do you have the right to rape your wife?\u2019 or is marital rape \u2013 or non-consensual sex within a marriage \u2013 a crime? is currently ruling the airwaves, and cyberspace. And naturally the arguments were heated on both sides. This is an issue that has polarised people across the middle, irrespective of other affiliations. It was very interesting to see the ultra-conservative man, who would otherwise clash on most other issues \u2013 unite across religious affiliations to oppose the exemption<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the side are those who believe marital rape to be not only abhorrent, but also the ceding of a woman\u2019s sexual agency to the husband after marriage. On the other side are mostly those who believe that the act of marriage allows for sex on demand for a man. Added to these are the questions of how will you prove rape within a marriage? And finally, there are questions of what happens if there are false cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Section 375 of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiacode.nic.in\/show-data?actid=AC_CEN_5_23_00037_186045_1523266765688&amp;orderno=424\">Indian Penal Code, IPC<\/a>, says that a&nbsp; man is said to commit rape, under 7 different circumstances. The first two are against her will, and without her consent. The rest deal with coercion, fraud or misrepresentation, intoxication, and inability to communicate consent. Finally, there is the question of underage sex \u2013 sex with women under the age of 18. There is only one exception to this definition of rape \u2013 and that is the rape of a woman by her husband within a marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) , over <a href=\"http:\/\/rchiips.org\/nfhs\/NFHS-5_FCTS\/India.pdf\"><strong>31% of all married women<\/strong><\/a>, between the ages of 18 and 49, &nbsp;face spousal violence. This spousal violence is defined as both physical and sexual violence. Many activists believe that given the way our societies and families are structured and given the normalisation of the man\u2019s authority on his wife \u2013 the number is likely to be higher. For many women, consent is never really sought by anyone, in any aspect of her life. For many the physical and sexual abuse are just another part of everyday life, that she has to bear, for the good of family and society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the one hand there is a marriage structure, which is a part of every society in the world. That marriage structure, apart from esoteric considerations like love and romance, is supposed to deliver mutual support, well socialised children, and societal stability. For this \u2018institution\u2019 to work, individual rights need to take second place to the needs of others. We just have to look at our own families to see the sacrifices made by people, to ensure that others in the family benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, there is the Republic of India, which recognises and celebrates the rights of the individual. The state is supposed to ensure that the rights of individuals are protected, so that we can go about our everyday life in relative security. &nbsp;Should the Republic of India flush the rights of women down the drain to ensure \u2018family stability\u2019 or should it ensure the rights of the woman \u2013 when her agency and consent are violated \u2013 within the family or outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The role of the Indian State is not to protect the institution of marriage, it is to protect the rights of the individual. And therefore the question here is very simple. Does the wife, a citizen of a Republic, cede her fundamental right to be, when she gets married? Does her consent, and agency not matter at all? And an answer here would be a resounding no. We continue to be citizens. Our rights matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A man who commits continuous violence on his wife \u2013 including physical, emotional, and sexual violence \u2013 is already undermining the institution of marriage. He is destroying the psyche of his family through brutalisation. His children grow up thinking this violence is normal, and it allows a cycle of such normalised deviant behaviour. The way to save the family, is not by giving exemptions to this behaviour, but by penalising it. Like all laws, there need to be safeguards that it is not misused. But we don\u2019t excuse murder as a crime, because we may put the wrong person in prison. The endeavour is justice, and there can be no equality or justice for women, if our consent is constantly violated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marital Rape is an emotive issue.
