Does marital rape law shield men from unnatural sex prosecution?

The Supreme Court will examine if husbands can face charges for sexual acts causing harm. This question arises despite existing exemptions for marital rape under penal laws. The court will begin final hearings on these pending pleas from September ninth. The central issue is whether the court can create a new offense by striking down exceptions. The Centre opposes criminalizing marital rape, citing marriage as a unique relationship.
