Abstract
Marital rape is one of the most evil acts which exist in India. Marital rape is no lesser than the offence of rape rather it is the species of rape. Married women are generally the victims of marital rape. It is one of the biggest threats to gender justice in India. It is one such social evil which has existed in India since ancient times and still continues to raise havoc in the country. Indian society has never considered marital rape as a problem. It is rarely opposed by anyone in the Indian society due to a variety of reasons. The attitude of Indian legislature is no different in this regard. Indian legislature has been given the most onerous task of enacting laws for the safety, security and development of the country by the Indian Constitution. But the legislature is not interested at all in eliminating the evil of marital rape from the country. Indian judiciary gives a ray of hope in this regard but its hands are tied as drafting of laws is the prerogative of legislature and not the judiciary. There are no effective laws in India as far as marital rape is concerned. Whatever laws are there in India they are not good enough to contain something as evil as marital rape. There is need to bring some strong laws to bell the cat of marital rape in India.
