The Madhya Pradesh High Court has found that because Indian law currently does not recognise marital rape, a husband cannot be held accountable under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for non-consensual 'unnatural' sex with his wife. The Court further stated that anything done between a husband and wife that goes beyond what is considered normal sexual intercourse cannot be categorically labelled as 'unnatural' sexual intercourse because the marital relationship is far more than just procreation. As a result, Justice Sanjay Dwivedi dismissed a first information report (FIR) submitted by the wife of sitting Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly member Umang Singhar claiming rape and an offence under Section 377 (unnatural crimes) of the IPC. HC on Sex Refusal by Spouse: Wilful Denial of Sexual Relationship Amounts to Cruelty in Marriage, Says Delhi High Court.
