The Centre for Research and Studies in Human Rights (CRaSH), Dharmashastra National Law University, Jabalpur, is an endeavor of the University to respond to the emerging regime of Human Rights. The Centre seeks to undertake interdisciplinary studies involving legal academia and other stakeholders and contribute in the best possible manner to the global pool of knowledge on the subject.
Theme
Marriage is a sacrosanct institution comprising two individuals who are then recognised as one in the society. This one entity is then not expected to have different opinions. The general social understanding on this today is once married, the spouses are one thus no point of force or consent. Everything by default stands consented and if there is consent then how can such a consented act of sexual intercourse be considered as rape.
This act of erasing a woman’s individuality and her right to self-determination is violative of the most basic of human rights. Marital rape violates a woman’s right to privacy and her right to live with dignity. It’s a disgraceful violent act committed against a woman.
It’s time to now question the exception of marital rape in the realm of the basic human right of consent. What we seek to understand now are the intricacies of the need for the criminalization of the offense, the aspect of infringement of various fundamental rights of married women, the global concept of consent, and ultimately the impact or implications of such a move on the institution of marriage.
Call for Blogs
In furtherance of this initiative, the Centre invites submissions from academicians, legal scholars and practitioners, researchers, and students with an aim to publish as blogs on the theme “Demystifying ‘consent’ in marital rape in India”.
