Marital rape

 MARITAL RAPE 

About 10-14% of married ladies are raped by using their husbands within the America. approximately one 0.33 of women file having 'undesirable intercourse' with their accomplice. historically, maximum rape statutes read that rape changed into pressured sexual sex with a girl no longer your wife, consequently granting husbands a license to rape. On July 5, 1993, marital rape has become against the law in all 50 states, under at the least one phase of the sexual offense codes. In 20 states, the District of Columbia, and on federal lands there are not any exemptions from rape prosecution granted to husbands. 

However, in 30 states, there are nonetheless some exemptions given to husbands from rape prosecution. In maximum of those 30 states, a husband is exempt while he does now not ought to use pressure because his wife is most vulnerable (e.g., she is mentally or physically impaired, subconscious, asleep, and so on.) and is not able to consent. ladies who're raped through their husbands are probably to be raped generally—regularly 20 or more instances. They enjoy now not handiest vaginal rape, but additionally oral and anal rape.

In India, rape exists de facto but not de jure. Rape is defined under Section 375 of IPC and as per the code the only instances where a husband can be criminally prosecuted for the offence of marital rape are if wife is between 12-15 years of age, when wife is below 12 years of age, when judicially separated and rape of wife above 15 years in age is not a punishable offence.

studies show a want for folks that come into touch with marital rape survivors-- cops, fitness care companies, religious leaders, advocates and counselors--to comprehensively deal with this problem and offer assets, statistics and support. folks who paintings in batterers' intervention packages ought to also paintings to get rid of marital rape and to comprehensively address sexual violence.

Marital rape isn't absolutely criminalized in India. In reality is a severe form of crime towards women and worth of presidency's attention.

Case Laws related to Defamation in favour of ClaimantCase Laws related to Defamation in favour of Claimant. TOLLEY Vs, J.S FRY & SONS LTD – (1931) Facts The defendants were owners of chocolate manufacturing company. They advertised their products with a caricature of the claimant, who was a prominent amateur golfer, showing him with the defendants’ chocolate in his pocket while playing golf. The advertisement compared the excellence of the chocolate to the excellence of the claimant’s drive. The claimant did not consent to or knew about the advertisement. Issue The claimant alleged that the advertisement suggested that he agreed to his portrait being used for commercial purposes and for financial gain. He further claimed that the use of his image made him look like someone who prostituted his reputation for advertising purposes and was thus unworthy of his status. At trial, several golfers gave evidence to the effect that if an amateur sold himself for advertisement, he no longer maintained his amateur status and might be asked to resign from his respective club. Furthermore, there was evidence that the possible adverse effects of the caricature on the claimant’s reputation were brought to the defendants’ attention. The trial judge found that the caricature could have a defamatory meaning. The jury then found in favor of the claimant. Held The House of Lords held that in the circumstances of this case – as explained by the facts – the caricature was capable of constituting defamation. In other words, the publication could have the meaning alleged by the claimant. The Lords also ordered a new trial limited to the assessment of damages. NEWSTEAD V LANDON EXPRESS NEWSPAPER LTD, (1939) Facts: A newspaper published a defamatory article about Harold Newstead. However, another person with this name brought an action in libel. He claimed that the article had been misunderstood as leading to him. The defendant newspaper recognised that they published the article. Also, they denied that they had the intention of being defamatory of him. Consequently, the claimant argued that the newspaper was under a duty. The duty was to give a clear and complete description of the correct person. Moreover, the claimant argued that the defendants were in breach of the duty. Issues: The issue in Newstead v London Express Newspaper, was if the reasonable persons would have understood the words complained of to refer to the plaintiff. Held: The Court of Appeal stated that in accordance with the current law on libel, liability for libel does not depend on the intention of the defamer; but on the fact of the defamation. Accordingly, a reasonable man, in this case a newspaper publisher, must be aware of the possibility of individuals with the same name and must assume that the words published will be read by a reasonable man with reasonable care.
