You mean “excessively harsh” for men and not care squat for women.
Cave dwellers.
No. It would not.
How wild is it that a nuclear armed country still has such an archaic legal system?
Then you lose the right to go around lecturing other countries till you do.

Talking about something being harsh? How about being the victim of martial rape and not being able to do anything about it.
Wtf is it with India and rape? It’s like there’s another horrific story every other week. Is this a media bias thing or is that region really deranged for some reason? Genuine question.
No means no. Yes means yes.
India: But, what does it mean tho?
What a backwards country.
This is a terrible ruling.
While marital rape is still penalized fairly severely, I don’t understand the logic behind not allowing it to be reclassified as rape (*which carries even more significant consequences*). That is how it should be.
If you have a generation of men and women that aren’t literate enough to understand basic consent norms, you need stringent laws that makes sure there is some mechanism to provide security to the women (*99% of rape victims in India*) in need.
> Changing that would be “excessively hard”, old men argue
FTFY
We really need to consider the rapist’s feelings.
This is pure evil. Someone thought about punishing men for raping women and only thought about how it would impact men.
My only hope is that hell is real and it’s FULL of these fucking vile bastards.
Like what in the actual fuck is wrong over there? Even as an official state position outlawing it outta be a no brainer, even if it’s not actually enforced. But to go outta their way to choose to NOT outlaw it…there’s some folk who ain’t right.
A country where arranged marriages are common, and martial rape is fine, sounds like a nightmare for women. I’m sure some women have no choice at all in their marriage, and are subject to regular sexual violence.
Personally I think letting women be raped is excessively harsh
Even if it was, the India court system tends to always favor the men. Even if there’s clear evidence.
What about the women being raped?
What’s crazy is that in the US, marital rape wasn’t outlawed in many jurisdictions until the 1960’s and 1970’s.
That’s insane.
It is still a subject in divorces in France
Rapists go to jail for life or just die please. Fuck them all.
Do they mean *incredibly difficult and costly to enforce*?
That’s not what harsh is. Harsh would be calling Narendra Modi a right-wing hindu nationalist jackass who was complicit in the 2002 Guajarat riots. And signing him up for every scientology email program ever.
You all deserve what you get! Changing that would be the right thing to do! You’re not in the Middle Ages anymore!
India, putting the shittiest optics on itself since the British left
