HC on Unnatural Sex: Marital Consent Not Applicable in Unnatural Sex Acts Within Marriage, Says Madhya Pradesh High Court; Rules Against Rape Charges
Madhya Pradesh High Court has recently ruled that consent is irrelevant in cases where a husband engages in unnatural sexual acts with his wife during marriage, stating that such acts do not constitute rape as per Section 375 of the Indian Penal Code.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled against rape charges, stating that marital consent is not applicable in unnatural sex acts within a marriage, as per Section 375 of the Indian Penal Code. The court clarified that since such acts won't be considered rape under Section 375, the offence under Section 377 won't be applicable either. The decision came after a single-judge bench of Justice Prem Narayan Singh clarified that even though certain acts may fall under the definition of rape, any sexual act between a husband and wife, regardless of consent, cannot be deemed rape under Section 375 IPC. Despite this ruling, the court refused to quash the FIR filed against the husband and his relatives for offences under Sections 498-A, 294, and 506 IPC, stating that the allegations were specific and supported by evidence.
