Summary
An Indian court acquitted a man convicted of raping his wife, who later died, citing that marital rape is not a crime in India.
The ruling has sparked outrage, renewing calls to criminalize marital rape. Activists argue the decision is legally valid but morally unacceptable.
India’s outdated laws do not recognize non-consensual sex within marriage as rape.
Despite widespread domestic violence, resistance from the government and conservative groups has stalled reform efforts.
I wish the media would be more specific. He raped his wife who later died. In other words he raped her to death right? I mean it’s not the same thing but given no further clarification, that’s my interpretation.
given no further clarification
It’s in the article
the post-mortem report, which stated “the cause of death was peritonitis and rectal perforation” - simply put, severe injuries to her abdomen and rectum.
I’m kinda baffled by the ruling being about the rape then. If it’s legal there it didn’t need to even be stated. Instead it should be about the murder of his wife. I wonder what their laws around manslaughter are like. I’m sure the judge would call it an accident (because they’re awful) but it’s still an action that directly led to her death and that seems like something that should be punished.

Cool. Maybe women should band together and perform vasectomies on any man they choose.
Quid pro quo.
What does that have to do with altering their sexual drive (are you meaning just preventing pregnancy or using it as a shorthand for libido)?
I was gonna say “castrate” but men get all riled over that.
But if you prefer castrate over vasectomy go right ahead.
I’m a man and fully support castration of convicted rapists. Cut the whole thing off for all I care.
I feel like they are very different terms and also I think most people are sympathetic to the idea of castrating rapists
Yup, man here and I have no problem with that.
I dont get what they were on about. Probably virtue signalling or something silky
I’m sympathetic to the idea of castrating rapists (well except for that I’m still against it for the same reason as the death penalty, wrongful convictions happen just a little too often for such permanence), but that’s not what they said. They said…
Cool. Maybe women should band together and perform
vasectomiescastrations on any man they choose.Quid pro quo.
…without regard for conviction or even accusation of rape, just “hey look balls, lemme cut these off.” Why would I be sympathetic to that? It’s just gender based wanton violence and that person is a danger to others and should be involuntarily commited.
Not just feel like, they are extremely different terms, to the point where I’d barely call a vasectomy a punishment (it is a punishment only in the sense that they are prevented producing offspring and their junk will hurt for a few days), considering many men (including myself) voluntarily have the operation.
Ofc they are different terms. As I said men get upset when women say they should be castrated for raping women, which is why I said vasectomy instead. Some days I just don’t wanna battle over dumb shit like that.
Actually you said “any man they choose” not “for raping people.” That’s quite a difference, unless you’re operating under the assumption that all men have raped people and so “any man you choose” and “rapists” are synonymous to you, but you wouldn’t mean that, right?
That’s good to see you only mean rapists though, because I’ve been raped twice by two different women, and the law in my area requires penetration so by law they cannot be convicted of rape (at most “Sexual Assault” charges), so you support me mutilating their genitals extra judiciously so they don’t do it again too, because the government makes raping me legal, right? Why not?
Vasectomy comes off as way dumber, rapists wanna fucks but not necessarily inseminate. They are hardly interchangeable;
Nobody gives a fuck about rapists fertiliity. Maybe you mean chemical castration and you’re conflating those. Dunno and im out so whatevs
Men with vasectomies can still inseminate - it’s just that the semen doesn’t contain any sperm.
Women need to stop enabling men who take away their rights and dignity.
Every woman who is having sex with a man that supports this status quo is doing her part to keep it going.
Men need to stop blaming women.
Women need to take responsibility like every other adult.
Are you retarded?
How did you get “women are being irresponsible” out of “women are being legally raped in their own marriage”?
The whole reason this was in the news is because a woman took responsibility and reported the man for rape… Who was then set free because marital rape isn’t a crime in India for some reason.
But I’m assuming you’re not gonna understand the context here.
Women need to stop enabling men who take away their rights and dignity.
Every woman who is having sex with a man that supports this status quo is doing her part to keep it going.
Like it or not, there are plenty of women who are okay with this because their husbands who support it are making money and buying them things.
Fear is an extremely powerful motivator. I’m going to assume you haven’t had to deal with that personally before, so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, but fear in these situations can absolutely cause people to defend their abusers, else they get beaten and/or raped again for not “taking his side”. My wife was in that situation in her last marriage; if he wanted sex, she could either just go with it so she didn’t get beaten, or she could say “no”, at which point he would get angry and rape her anyway.
Being isolated with zero support system and then being shamed (like you’re doing) for just trying to survive is what keeps those women in those situations.
They shouldn’t be getting with these abusers in the first place. Most women end up in these situations because they value the wrong things.
I go back to my point of “there are plenty of women who are okay with this because their husbands who support it are making money and buying them things.”
They chose these relationships. The sooner we can educate more women on why their reasoning for getting with these people is flawed, the sooner we can stop it from happening.
Nobody is holding a gun to their head saying “hey, marry this dickbag!” It’s usually for social clout, i.e. he buys them things they can show off to their peers.
