Justice Gurpal Singh Ahluwalia pointed to India’s marital rape exemption, which does not make it a crime for a man to force sex on his wife, a relic of British rule more than 70 years after independence.

“When rape includes insertion of penis in the mouth, urethra or anus of a woman and if that act is committed with his wife, not below the age of fifteen years, then consent of the wife becomes immaterial

Holy shit...

FYI its only since about the 80s that marital rape was made illegal in USA, UK and AU.

I was blissfully ignorant of this fact. Thanks. :(

Forgot to post the link on case you (or anyone else) "wanted sources" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marital_rape_laws_by_country

It does sound unbelievable.
