Unnatural sex with wife not rape, consent immaterial: HC

印度最高法院：夫妻间非自愿性行为不算强奸，妻子同意与否无关紧要

BHOPAL: Observing that marital rape is not an offence under IPC, Madhya Pradesh HC has ruled that unnatural sex with wife is not rape, and her consent is immaterial in such cases.

Justice G S Ahluwalia made the observation while quashing an FIR registered by an estranged wife against her husband under IPC sections 377 (unnatural sex) and 506 (criminal intimidation).

博帕尔：中央邦高等法院认为根据《印度刑法》，婚内强奸并不违法，裁定夫妻间非自愿性行为不属强奸，妻子同意与否无关紧要。

一名处于分居阶段的妇女根据《印度刑法》第377条(非自愿性行为)和506条(刑事恐吓)对丈夫提起指控立案，G S Ahluwalia法官在撤销指控时提出了这一意见。

In his May 1 order, the judge referred to several judgments of the Supreme Court and high courts, and the definition of rape under section 375 of IPC, and stated that a husband engaging in anal sex with his wife did not amount to rape, even if it were non-consensual, as long as the wife was not below 15 years of age.

According to the husband’s petition, the couple got married in May 2019, but the wife has been living at her parental house since Feb 2020. She filed a case of dowry harassment against her husband and in-laws, which is pending in court. In July 2022, the wife lodged another FIR accusing him of unnatural sex.

法官在5月1日提到了最高法院和高等法院的几项判决，以及《印度刑法》第375条对强奸的定义，指出只要妻子年纪不低于15岁，即便未取得妻子同意，丈夫与妻子肛交也不构成强奸罪。

根据丈夫的请愿书，这对夫妇于2019年5月结婚，但妻子自2020年2月以来一直住在她父母家中。她提出了一项针对丈夫和婆家的嫁妆骚扰指控，该案件正在法庭审理中。2022年7月，妻子提出了另一项指控，指控丈夫强迫她发生性行为

Why didn't Godi change this law? because people will not like it and his own people commit such acts. Therefore in India is allowed.

为什么莫迪政府不修订这条法律？因为人们不会喜欢这种改变，他的自己人也会干这种龌龊事。所以这种行为在印度是允许的。

For this valuable judgement from the courts, there are similar cases against husbands by wives have been pending for several years in family courts. In one way, the civilized society says that we have no right to touch even the spouse as taken it granted for such merry activities without her consent as she is being a separate identity and individuality and to honour her feelings.

鉴于法院作出了这一珍贵的判决，家庭法庭还有一些类似的妻子起诉丈夫的案件已经等了几年。在某种意义上，文明社会认为如果未经配偶同意，我们无权触碰配偶，因为对方是一个独立的个人，我们要尊重对方的感情。

恕难接受，未经同意就是强奸，他不能利用自己的地位权力，这违背了宗教誓言，也违背了婚姻期间的宣誓。

Even before clicking, I expected this to be Bhopal, due to the Nawabi Shauq. However on other hand, this seems to be a frame-up since this is part of second thought, not original accusation.

在我点开这则新闻之前，我就在猜这是不是博帕尔的判决，因为他对纳瓦比·绍克案的判决就已经毁三观了。不过从另一个角度来看，这有可能是一起构陷，因为指控者改变主意了，已经不是最早的那项指控了。

non sense. The judgement is absurd. All three acts as mentioned are illegal except the middle one which is natural sex , meant for reproduction. Ahluwalia ji must be retired. as early as possible

荒谬啊。这个判决实在荒谬。他提到的三种行为都是非法行为，除了中间那条是为了繁衍后代而进行的自愿性行为。Ahluwalia必须撤职，越快越好。

A rightful judgement. Here the case for unnatural sex was filed in 2022, whereas she has been living separately since 2020. Prior to filing this case, she also filed a case for dowry. So, the case is for harassing her husband and to extort the money.

这是公正的判决。非自愿性行为的指控是在2022年才提起的，但她自2020年以来一直不在一起生活。在提起诉讼之前，她还先提交了嫁妆指控。所以，这个案子就是为了给她的丈夫制造麻烦并勒索钱财的。

The judgement appears to be taking the wife's will granted, just because she being a wife ! Is being a wife equivalent to being a slave ?

判决似乎认为妻子就应该同意，就因为她是一个妻子吗！做人妻子就等同于为人奴役吗？

Surprised just how many men are for the judicial precedent set here. They are all probably thinking 'now I don't have to ask her and I can hurt her any way I want'! What a perverse judgment. Zero application of mind. Rape is rape boss. Just because Indian men like to force themselves upon their women does not make it automatically legal or moral.

我很惊讶，居然有这么多人支持这起司法判例。他们可能都在想：“现在我不需要问她同不同意了，我可以用任何方式伤害她！”这是多么荒谬的判断啊。完全就是没脑子的想法。强奸就是强奸。就因为印度男人喜欢强迫他们的女人，并不意味着这种行为就能自动变成合法或道德的行为。

what do u mean, u mean husband has complete powers on her. he can do whatever he wants with her. no need of consent. plz reconsider and judge. thnx.

你是什么意思，你觉得丈夫对妻子拥有绝对的权力吗，可以对妻子为所欲为，无需得到妻子的同意？请重新审议并作出裁决。非常感谢。

Decision shows the knowledge level,IG of judges . Although proving consent or no consent is almost impossible, there has to be a way by which rape can be punished .

判决结果反映了法官的知识水平和判案能力。虽然我们不太可能证明对方是否同意，但我们必须找到一种惩罚强奸罪行的方法。

也有可能是妻子对丈夫提出的虚假诉讼。现在很多女方的父母会在婚后排挤男方的家庭，提出虚假指控来彰显自己的地位，其中就有人会提出嫁妆骚扰的指控。
