Supreme Court has declared that marital rape cannot be considered a criminal
offence, if sexual intercourse is between a man and his wife, above the age of
15, based on the exception in Section 375 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) rape
law, and also asked the Centre to provide details of the number of child
marriage prohibition officers and prosecutions initiated under the Child
Marriage Act in the past three years.
