THIS LAW IS GROTESQUE!!!
A "RAPE" IS A "RAPE" , marital or otherwise !!!!...
I fail to c how such a law will "protect the sanctity" of a marriage ?..😕... the marriage looses all of its sanctity when one spouse rapes other !!!... there is no further question of "preservation of non-existent sanctity" of such marriage !... seriously, is THAT so difficult to get ??!!😕
This kind of approach has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Hinduism !!!..those who carry such misconceptions r obviously unaware of Hinduism & its principle teachings!!..n those Hindus who practice it are UNWORTHY of being called a Hindu for they have defiled their own religion !!!.. Hindu religion worships feminine entity Adi Parashakthi as the supreme being...all such atrocities and misogynistic mindset is the direct influence of Mughal & Victorian imprints left on the Indian population...in fact our constitution is it self a copy paste of outdated Victorian Constitution with only few modifications..
I don't think Mughal. Mughal ladies were pretty strong from what I've read. But it's definitely gotta do with India aping the Victorian British. And if you look at the contemporary ways of interpreting religion, almost all religions are used as a ploy against women. So even if Hinduism is not to be blamed, the Hindutva that many of our nationalist parties boast of, cannot be let off the hook. I really hope our political leaders get a lesson of this Hinduism you speak of, before blabbering on the Hindu culture and traditions cuz it certainly pisses off even Hindus. Even Christianity in India isn't very modern in approach like we'd like to believe. All the religions, be it Hinduism, Islam, Christianity can be associated with liberalism, but not when more than half the population is in the clutches of blind faith, superstitions and a congenital hatred against women. So yeah I'd say, it's gotta do with the culture of our country more than any particular religion. Ours is a rape culture. And if we gotta fight that, then we need to think and act radically, and not look through the prism of any religion.
