India News<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>New Delhi, Dec 4\/National Turk \u2013 In a significant judgement, a court \u00a0in India has said husband\u2019s forcible sex with his wife does not amount to \u201cmarital rape\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The judgement was passed by District judge of a court in Indian capital, Delhi.<\/p>\n<p>According to media reports, District Judge JR Aryan agreed with the defence counsel of accused Hazi Ahmed Saeed that the Indian Penal Code does not recognise any concept of &#8220;marital rape.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The wife of Saeed had accused her of having forcibly sex with her without her consent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Defence counsel has rightly argued that Indian Penal Code does not recognise any such concept of \u2018marital rape\u2019. If complainant was a legally-wedded wife of accused, the sexual intercourse with her by accused would not constitute offence of rape even if it was by force or against her wishes,&#8221; the court said.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, Saeed\u2019s wife had filed the case in 2007 alleging that after her first husband&#8217;s death, Saeed started visiting her and by expressing sympathy, he asked her to marry him.<\/p>\n<p>She had told the court that she married Saeed in February 2006. \u201cLater, I came to know that he had married me only to grab my property, which was then sold by him and his four sons,\u201d she had alleged.<\/p>\n<p>Police in its charge sheet had stated that Saeed had maintained physical relations with the woman after their marriage and it could be a possibility that those physical relations were against her consent and wish.<\/p>\n<p><em>Write your comments and thoughts below<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Faiz Ahmad \/ NationalTurk India News<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- Error, Advert is not available at this time due to schedule\/geolocation restrictions! -->\n<h1><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A court in India has passed a judgement that husband\u2019s forcible sex with wife does not amount to marital rape India News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":732,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,80,63,6,14],"tags":[39807,7175,39813,39814,39815,39829,39806,2546,39828,39802,39803,39797,39804,39827,39809,39808,39810,39805,11799,39811,39798,11225,39800,39801,39799,13934],"class_list":["post-29355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-asia","category-breaking-news","category-daily","category-family","category-world","tag-consent","tag-delhi","tag-delhi-court","tag-district-judge","tag-district-judge-jr-aryan","tag-forced-sex-with-wife","tag-forcibly","tag-india","tag-india-marital-rape","tag-indian-court","tag-indian-court-verdict","tag-intercourse","tag-judgement","tag-marital-rape","tag-married","tag-offence","tag-physical-relations","tag-property","tag-rape","tag-recognise","tag-saeed","tag-sex","tag-significant","tag-verdict","tag-wife","tag-woman"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29355","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/732"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29355"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29355\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29355"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
