The Chief Justice acknowledged the request and indicated that the matter may be heard today or on July 18th.
In a related development, the Rajasthan government has filed an intervention petition seeking to present its perspective on the issue. The state government argues that the matter pertains to violence against women and that its input is relevant.
The Supreme Court’s decision on marital rape has significant implications for women’s rights and the criminal justice system. Currently, marital rape is not considered a criminal offense under Indian law, except in cases where the wife is under 18 years of age.
The court’s ruling on this matter is highly anticipated, as it has the potential to impact the lives of millions of women in India.
