Marital Rape:
The Legal Crime in India

Marital Rape or Conjugal Assault is a part of marriage that is exclusively not dealt with by the present existing laws. This paper is an endeavour to illuminate the perspective and the current laws that can be utilized as protection by an accomplice in the event of a Conjugal Assault.

Cremation and Its Adverse Scenario in The Current Pandemic

Worldwide spread of COVID-19 in a quite short time has brought a tremendous devastating impact to the environment and sentiments of people. The corpses drifting down the Ganges River, which Hindus consider sacred, have shocked a nation reeling under the world's worst surge in infections. One can see the dumped dead bodies of COVID-19 patient in some rivers of India. A state government made the first official acknowledgement of an alarming practice it said may form from poverty and fear of the disease in villages.

This study focuses on the bodies of those who have succumbed to Covid-19 or any other diseases are being thrown into rivers instead of being disposed off as per proper which may result in the harmful effect on the health of locals.

It looks like the concept of consent and will never exists.

​

A ten year old girl was married to a thirty year old man. Since marital rape has not been a concept, the man was charged for rape. One of the most frightening cases of marital rape was Phoolmani Dasi (also known as Maharani v/s Hari Mohan Maity). Although the autopsy report clearly indicated an injured vagina as the cause of death, the husband was later acquitted of the rape charge because law of rape excluded marital rape from the purview of law. On 9th January, 1891, the Viceroy of India presented a bill before the Council of India, called the “Age of Consent”. Previously, the age of consent had been said at 10 years at 1860. After the bill was passed in 1891, the Section 376 included sex with a girl under 12 years even if the person is the wife of the perpetrator, as rape....
