Read MoreIndia Experiences Market Uncertainty Amid Bizarre Economic Turn

Read MoreCriminalization Of Marital Rape In India Remains Unrealized Five Years After ‘Puttaswamy’
The framework of privacy established by the landmark ruling is based on physical integrity, decisional autonomy, individual dignity, and freedom; declaring the marital rape exemption to be "unconstitutional" would be the fitting realisation of this framework. On August 24, 2012, five years ago, the Supreme Court of India issued its historic nine-judge bench judgement in the case of K.S. Puttaswamy against Union of India, finding that the right to privacy is a fundamental right derived from article III of the Indian Constitution. Legal academics at the time stated that Puttaswamy might alter the legal landscape of women's rights in India, but that this would rely on the future case-by-case application of Puttaswamy by the courts.
