The phrase marital rape not only refers to rape but also indicates how a marriage, where the husband and wife are expected to live together for the rest of their lives and have complete faith in one another, violates one’s right to life and dignity. Our culture has been raging about how a wife should keep her husband happy to discourage him from looking for or engaging in other illicit relationships with women since the beginning. But if he does, our culture suddenly rises up to defend the husband’s actions. By criticizing women for failing to give males the caring, love, attention, mental, emotional, and particularly physical support they need. Among the most horrifying crimes is Marital rape a crime that is committed not only in India but across the entire world. Marital rape is not a lesser crime than rape or we can address it as a subtype of rape. Married women are in most of the cases the greatest victims of marital rape. One of the biggest threats to India’s gender justice system is posed by it. It is one of those societal illnesses that has been in India since ancient times and still has a negative impact on society. Indian society has never had a bad attitude about marital rape. It is rarely opposed by anyone in Indian society for a variety of reasons. The Indian legislative position is similar in this regard. In order to ensure the security, the Indian Constitution has given the Indian government the most arduous task of creating legislation. The security of the country’s overall prosperity in this context is given into the hands of the legislature which is however, is not particularly interested in ending marital rape which it very evident because they tend to delineate an extremely casual approach when it comes to marital rape. Although the Indian judiciary expresses some hope in this regard, it is limited by the fact that the legislature, not the court, is solely in charge of passing laws. There are no effective laws in India yet that will prevent marital rape. Whatever regulations exist in India, they are insufficient to stop a horrible crime like marital rape. India needs to enact some strict legislation to stop marital rape.

Marital rape stands at the intersection of the socio-legal issues arising from both domestic violence and sexual assault. For centuries, women who suffered sexual assault perpetrated by their spouses had no legal recourse. A man's conjugal rights included his right to have sexual intercourse with his wife regardless of whether she consented. This right has been recognised in law, and still is in some jurisdictions today. This book emerges from the research undertaken by an innovative, multi-country, academic, collaborative project dedicated to comparatively analysing the legal treatment of sexual assault in intimate relationships, with a view to challenging the legal impunity for and inadequate legal responses to this form of gendered violence.

Rape in marriage is a global problem affecting millions of women -- it is still legal in many countries and was only criminalized in all U.S. states in 1993. In much of the world, marital rape is too often understood as an oxymoron due to the fact that the ideology of permanent consent underlies the legal and cultural definitions of sex in marriage. From Vietnam to Guatemala to South Africa and beyond, this volume examines how cultural, legal, public health, and human rights policies and practices impact intimate partner violence. While legal and cultural conceptions of marital rape vary widely -- from criminal assault to wifely duty -- this volume offers evidence from different societies that forced sex undermines the physical and psychological well-being of the women who experience it, regardless of their cultural context. Globally, the nature of marriage is changing and so are notions of individual choice, love, intimacy, and rigid gender roles. Marital Rape documents wide ranging and fluid understandings of sex, consent, and rape in marriage; such an array of perspectives demands an international and interdisciplinary approach to the study of sex and gender-based violence. This text brings together an international group of scholars from the fields of anthropology, sociology, criminology, law, public health, and human rights; their work points to the importance of understanding the lived experience of sexual violence for the design of effective and culturally sensitive public policy and practice.

Bergen′s important study promises to reopen the topic of wife rape. This book should be read by everyone involved in domestic violence research and intervention!" --Kersti Yllö, Ph.D., Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Wheaton College, Massachusetts Attending to a subject long-neglected by research and popular spheres, author Raquel Kennedy Bergen addresses the deep pain and humiliation of sexual assault suffered by countless numbers of women at the hands of their partners.

Offering insight and hope to survivors and providing critical information to service providers, this valuable volume helps readers better understand wife rape and the response of agencies to the problem. In addition, a special guide to service providers, a state law chart, and a list of organizations that provide information on rape make this book an important resource.

DIVDIVSusan Brownmiller’s groundbreaking bestseller uncovers the culture of violence against women with a devastating exploration of the history of rape—now with a new preface by the author exposing the undercurrents of rape still present today/divDIV Rape, as author Susan Brownmiller proves in her startling and important book, is not about sex but about power, fear, and subjugation. For thousands of years, it has been viewed as an acceptable “spoil of war,” used as a weapon by invading armies to crush the will of the conquered. The act of rape against women has long been cloaked in lies and false justifications./divDIV It is ignored, tolerated, even encouraged by governments and military leaders, misunderstood by police and security organizations, freely employed by domineering husbands and lovers, downplayed by medical and legal professionals more inclined to “blame the victim,” and, perhaps most shockingly, accepted in supposedly civilized societies worldwide, including the United States./divDIV Against Our Will is a classic work that has been widely credited with changing prevailing attitudes about violence against women by awakening the public to the true and continuing tragedy of rape around the globe and throughout the ages./divDIV Selected by the New York Times Book Review as an Outstanding Book of the Year and included among the New York Public Library’s Books of the Century, Against Our Will remains an essential work of sociological and historical importance./divDIV/div/div
