The Madhya Pradesh High Court recently said that sexual relations between a husband and wife is not restricted to procreation. The court also observed that it cannot define any act beyond "natural" sex between the couple as "unnatural". The High Court made these observations while holding that a husband cannot be prosecuted under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (Unnatural Offence) in view of Section 375 IPC (Rape), which exempts marital sex and also covers all possible penile penetration. The court said that if anything happens between the couple apart from the deemed natural sexual intercourse, the same cannot be defined as "unnatural".
