The Centre has told the Supreme Court there is no need to criminalise marital rape as there are other “suitably designed punitive measures”. The Centre said it is not within the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court to criminalise marital rape.
The Centre said the issue of marital rape is a more social issue than a legal one, as it will have a direct effect on society.
This issue (marital rape) cannot be decided without proper consultation with all stakeholders or without taking into account the views of all states, the Centre said.
