Abstract
Rape is not just an act of sexual violence but an act of degenerating the society by outraging the modesty of a woman and outseeing the dignity of mental, physical and psychological well-being of a woman. How the concept that has been instilled within the society at large remains to be a culmination of the wrong deeds not only by deviating from basic theory of symbiosis but also making everyone sustainable. The concept of marital rape to be considered in the Indian Penal Code has been a matter of discussion since long. The Article looks into the concept of marital rape in India, the provisions being violated by the same. Marital Rape cannot be allowed to exist as an implied consent for the parties that are involved in the marital relationship and in no way, it implies any perpetual consent from the side of woman.
