India Says Criminalising Marital Rape is "Excessively Harsh" | Vantage with Palki Sharma

The Government of India has opposed marital rape criminalisation by calling it "excessively harsh". "Sexual acts by a man on his own wife" are not criminalised in India’s law. The government says that criminalising marital rape can disturb a marriage. While many support this stance in India, there is widespread criticism. 1 in 3 married women in India experience some kind of violence from their husbands and 1 in 25 face sexual violence. Should marital rape be criminalised? Where do other countries stand? Palki Sharma tells you.
