A division bench of the Kerala High Court comprising A Muhamed Mustaque and Justice Kauser Edappagath has clarified that you cannot force your wife for Sex.
The bench said, having sex with a wife when she is not interested comes under marital rape and called it a form of cruelty.
The bench also clarified that a woman can seek divorce from her husband on the same grounds.
The bench said wife and husband are equal in marriage and no one should think they are superior to others.
During the arguments, the bench also observed that his husband cannot see his wife as the money-making source.
The victim allegedly said that her husband forced her to have sex despite saying she was not interested. Even when she was sick, she was not spared.
The court suggested that she can get a divorce.
