No law gives a man the right to harm his wife, yet we find ourselves needing to state it in court. This is a victory, but also a reminder of the deeply ingrained gender inequality in our society. I am hopeful, however, that this sets a precedent for future cases and wakes up our society to this grave issue. Let's continue the fight against injustice, one small step at a time. #Justice #GenderEquality #DelhiHC

How A Men’s Rights NGO Got The Delhi High Court To Hear Arguments To Keep Marital Rape Legal

In more than 150 countries, it is a crime to rape your wife but not in India, a position supported by the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Driven by an unwavering conviction that women have been misusing laws to harass men, men’s rights activists in India battle to keep it that way, using legal arguments—the Supreme Court will hear them in March—political lobbying and an aggressive social media campaign.
