Marital Rape is the shadow in the colourful mosaic of India. This is a sneaky thing that takes place within the walls of a marriage that many couples keep hidden. This is a harsh truth that differs considerably from various types of domestic violence and an issue that is seldom talked about.
However, in most areas of India, marital rape has not been viewed as a legal offense. On the contrary, affected persons could resort to the Domestic Violence Act that was implemented in 2005. However, this leaves them without any particular legal protection due to a lack of legislation on spousal rape in Ireland.
Victims are made to feel trapped in a silent prison by the societal pressures, fear of reprisals, and lack of legal protection. Marital rape also have aftermath that goes beyond individuals who get affected; it affects society as a whole. The female partner who rejects sex is often considered infertile or sick whereas the male counterpart who does not feel into it is asked if he has any problem with his manhood. Thus, these age-old stereotypes harm society in general.
This is certainly a controversial matter posing hard questions. It is imperative to comprehend the values and responsibilities of a marriage. As we can understand that there is no point to promote this issue with legal or illegal concept we need to understand to this topic as It is important a women or men to satisfied their partners or please sexual desires and a man or women both needs to ask or take permission before sex because physically and harmful actions with a women is not right. If she is not feeling well, menses days or feeling pain so she have right to say no or he is tired a lot so he also deny but otherwise she or he is human being and it is not allowed to give harm and torchure for their benefits.
This issue is spreading due to the inability to show patience and compassion on the side of others. The best that we can do is to raise awareness and have meaningful discussions, and understand the situation and harshness. It’s now time to break the cycle of silence.
To conclude, this kind of relationship develops only on basis of mutual understanding, patience and communication. Instead of enlarging the silence, let us build a society that cares, recognizes and respects other people’s rights in marriage. It would be much more preferable for someone facing such a predicament to seek help and pursue legal remedies to get divorced instead of tolerating hurt and injustice.
