BREAKING: #KarnatakaHighCourt in a judgment today has said that "A brutal act of sexual assault on
the wife, against her consent, albeit by the husband, cannot but
be termed to be a rape."
#MaritalRape
The bench penned that "Such sexual assault by a husband on
his wife will have grave consequences on the mental sheet of the
wife, it has both psychological and physiological impact on her."
"Such acts of husbands scar the soul of the wives. It is, therefore, imperative for the law makers to now “hear the voices of
silence”," the bench added.
