印度政府反对将婚内强奸定为犯罪, The Indian government opposes criminalizing marital rape, deeming it "excessively harsh" and potentially damaging to marriage. 目前,根据英国殖民时代的法律,如果妻子超过18岁,婚内强奸不被列为强奸。 Currently, marital rape is not classified as such under a British colonial-era law if the wife is over 18. 这一立场引起了一些倡导者的批评,他们争辩说,现行法律未能保护婚姻中的同意,反映了对暴力侵害妇女行为的更广泛的文化接受。 This stance has sparked criticism from advocates who argue that existing laws fail to protect consent within marriage and reflect a broader cultural acceptance of violence against women. 最高法院正在审查修改该法的请愿书。 The Supreme Court is reviewing petitions to amend this law.
