Unnatural Sex With Wife Without Consent Not Offence: Chhattisgarh High Court | Read
Unnatural sex between a man and his adult wife does not merit punishment, the Chhattisgarh High Court said in a recent judgment. The case involves a man whose wife died in hospital after unnatural sex. The doctor said she had peritonitis and rectal perforation.
Marital rape is not punishable by law in India. The High Court judgment now leaves unnatural sex out of the ambit of punishment as well.
Accused of unnatural sex and culpable homicide not amounting to murder, he was convicted by a trial court, but got relief from the High Court.
