New Delhi: The Karnataka government on Thursday has filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court and supported the prosecution of a husband under the marital rape charges. The state government in its affidavit said the Karnataka High Court was correct in its March judgment in ordering the trial of a man for allegedly raping his wife.
The government in its affidavit stated that whether the charge finally stands is a matter of trial and that the accused in the case cannot be exonerated at this stage despite the immunity against marital rape provided to husbands under IPC.
