“Forced unnatural sex by husband is cruelty under S. 498A IPC, not rape”: MP HC quashes Rape, Section 377 IPC charges
“Forced unnatural sex by a husband on his wife amounts to cruelty under Section 498A of the IPC, but cannot be prosecuted as rape under Section 376 of the IPC as in a Section 377 context, marital rape concept is not recognized under current law because of the express marital exception in Section 375.”
