Prime Time | On Abortion And Marital Rape, Supreme Court's Massive Order

Prime Time - September 29, 2022: Ruling that all women, no matter married or not, are entitled to abortion rights, the Supreme Court today also took a step towards defining marital rape, saying the exception given to husbands in definition of rape is "legal fiction". It stopped short of criminalising forcible sex by a husband — that's the subject of a different case — but said abortion would be allowed in such cases under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act. There will be no prerequisite of a case to be filed for sexual assault, rape or incest, it added. (Audio in Hindi)
