古吉拉特邦高等法院：婚内强奸不算强奸

AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat HCruled on Monday that a wife cannot charge her husband with marital rape even if the man has sex with her without her consent if she is above 18 years of age.

艾哈迈达巴德：古吉拉特邦高等法院周一裁定，如果妻子已年满18周岁，就不能控告丈夫婚内强奸，即使丈夫没有征得她的同意强行发生性关系。

Justice J B Pardiwala observed that the offence of rape by a husband is not an offence punishable under IPC Section 375 + , which defines rape. He lamented the position of a law which does not enable a woman to prosecute her husband for rape and called for legal provisions so that a woman can protect her body the way she has been enabled to protect her other rights.

J B Pardiwala法官注意到，根据IPC第375条关于强奸的定义，丈夫的强奸行为不属于可判刑的罪行。他对这一条法律的立场表示遗憾，该法律不允许女性起诉丈夫强奸，同时呼吁通过立法使女性能够保护自己的身体，就像保护女性的其他权利一样。

The HC quoted, in great detail, legal provisions exsting in countries across the world on marital rape and observed that the legislature must criminalise the offence. He said the mere apprehension of its misuse by "unscrupulous" women should not be a deterrent to enacting legislation to protect women battered by marital rape, which is rampant in India. The HC said a wife can initiate criminal proceedings against her husband for unnatural sex under IPC Section 377. Consent is not a determining criterion in such a case. Any offence which is against the order of nature and can be described as carnal penetration would constitute an offence under IPC Sec 377.

高等法院详细地引用了世界各国关于婚内强奸的法律条文，并指出立法机关必须将这一罪行定为犯罪。法官表示，他说，如果仅仅是担心“肆无忌惮”的妇女滥用权利，也不应该妨碍立法保护遭受婚姻强奸的妇女，这在印度非常猖獗。高等法院表示，妻子可以根据IPC第377条对丈夫提起刑事诉讼。在这种情况下，同意不是决定性的标准。任何违反自然秩序的罪行，可被称为“肉体渗透”，将构成IPC第377条规定的罪行。

However, in a marital relationship, "except the sexual perversions of sodomy, buggery and bestiality, all other sexual perversions would not fall within the sweep of Sec 377 of the IPC", the HC said and observed that the charge of forced oral sex levelled by the woman in this case would not attract the charge of sodomy. The HC added that forcing a wife to have sex would attract the charge of outraging the modesty of woman under IPC Sec 354.

然而，在婚姻关系中，“除了惊世骇俗的鸡奸和兽奸性变态行为外，所有其他的性变态行为都不属于IPC第377条所规定的范畴。”高等法院表示，在本案中，女子指控男子强迫其进行口交尚未达到鸡奸的程度。高院补充道，强迫妻子发生性行为违反了IPC第354条的规定。

And what is the proof that there is no consent from wife? And can we say that wife has raped husband if there was no consent from husband. If the husband/wife is not willing to have sex with each other, then better allow him/her to have it with someone else and don't call it as extra marital affairs as the other person is the reason for this act. Well, girls would think how they can make money out of it. All cheap money minded.

有没有证据证明妻子没有同意？是不是也可以说，没有丈夫的同意，妻子也强奸了丈夫。如果丈夫或妻子不愿意和对方发生性关系，那么最好允许他或她和别人一起OOXX，不要把这叫做婚外情，因为这是对方造成的。好吧，女孩们会想怎么从中赚钱。见钱眼开。

feminists groups are putting pressure on govt and courts to make marital rape so that more misuse of law can happen.

女权团体正在向政府和法院施压，要求他们通过婚内强奸立法，那么还会发生更多滥用法律的事。
