Supreme Court Issues Notice to Centre on Plea Challenging Marital Rape Exception in New Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita
The Supreme Court of India has issued a notice to the Central Government on a plea challenging the marital rape exception in the newly introduced criminal code, Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS).
The notice comes after NGOs and activists filed a series of petitions following a split verdict by the Delhi High Court on the same issue. While one judge ruled to strike down the exception, another judge upheld its validity.
