Main Body

Case for its criminalisation:

-i: Right to bodily autonomy under Article 21 of Indian Constitution eg Puttaswamy case

-ii: 'Rape is rape' and must not be taken lightly even if by husband

-iii: Propels the continued subjugation of women rather in public sphere eg low health indicators

-iv: Distress calls received by NCW in lockdown reflect the widespread violence

-v: Necessary for wholesale empowerment of women eq McKinsey held they do 75% are work

Yet there are concerns:

-i: Solicitor General held it can destabilize the institution of marriage

-ii: can be tackled under other sections of IPC (domestic violence) genuine

-iii: Difficult to investigate frivolous cases

-iv: Rise of frivolous & false cases
