The Supreme
Court discarded a 77-year-old law and ruled that sex between a man and his wife
below 18 years of age will count as rape and the husband can face up to 10
years' imprisonment under the Indian Penal Code or even a life term under the POCSO
(Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act of 2012. However the court clarified
that it has not touched on the issue of marital rape.
