Summary: The plain language of Section 375, Exception 2 of the Indian Penal Code is critically analysed in this paper. It is commonly believed and referred to as the “marital rape exception.” I argue for an alternative reading of the exception which would hold husbands liable for sexual abuse under Section 375 of the IPC. Constitutional compulsions require a contemporary reading of the law consistent with the right of every individual to equality and dignity.
