Snehashish RoyMarch 8, 20220

"Sexual intercourse or sexual acts by a man with his own wife, the wife not being under fifteen years of age, is not rape,” reads exception 2 of Section 375. This states that women in India are only protected when they are below 15 years of age, unmarried or separated. Either of the conditions has exceptions according to the Indian context. Criminalising marital rape has remained a burning topic in contemporary times as awareness around consent is increasing rapidly. Many are challenging marital rape more than ever.

Due to the enmity between Russia and Ukraine, it is affecting the economic condition of India including the whole world.

However, a cut in excise duty may reduce the impact on petrol and diesel prices to some extent, but not completely. India currently imports 85% of its...
