India's Supreme Court says marital rape not illegal

India is among 49 countries in the world where marital rape is still legal. Now the country's Supreme Court has also refused to criminalise rape within a marriage.

The Court has said that the Indian Parliament has already debated the issue extensively and not found marital rape illegal.

The United Nations has often urged the Indian government to make marital rape illegal. According to the UN, 75 per cent of men in India expect their wives to agree to sex with or without consent.
